Electroplating waste composition

Hi , I am currently researching and making a design, on what and how to make wastewater treatment of an electroplating activity. I hope somebody can help me with this.

Hello Irene. There are about 21 commonly electroplated metals, and applications can range from the plating of a half thimbleful of surface mounted electronic components where 100,000 can fit in a teacup to applications where motor homes and aircraft wings are processed. So it is very difficult to give a "typical" composition, but letter 11849 offers some info. Good luck.
