Development of a portable pilot line for the purification of spent plating baths from the surface treatment industry

The project partner Cnano has published an article related to the newly developed technology for plating bath purification. Electroplating produces a large amount of hazardous waste per year, but Creative Nano has developed a sustainable low-cost process for purifying and regenerating these baths and prolonging their operational lifetime, addressing this hazard problem. This method involves capturing excess Ni species on the surface of Fe3O4-based magnetic nanoparticles which are then removed from the plating bath via magnetic filters.
