Polarization measurements were peformed to investigate the electrochemical behavior of copper ions and limiting current density in waste rinse water from copper electroplating processes. A newly designed cyclone type electrolyzer was tested to recover the copper powder. Synthetic solutions were prepared using analytical grade $CuSO_4$ to the desired waste water concentration and pH was adjusted with $H_2$$SO_4$. Electrowinning was peformed at room temperature and the solution was cycled with a pump. Results showed that more than 99 percent of Cu was recovered and the size of the recovered Cu powder ranges from 0.1 - $0.5\mu\textrm{m}$. The chemical composition of the Cu powder mainly consists of $Cu_2$O and Cu and can be easily reduced to pure Cu powder.

도금폐수로부터 철, 구리, 아연 및 니켈 등 중금속을 분리ㆍ회수하기 위한 용매추출시 추출제의 종류 및 평형 pH에 따른 각 금속의 분리효과를 조사하였다. 실험결과 아연은 추출제로 PC-88A가 가장 효과적이며, pH 2.5에서 100% 추출할 수 있다. 구리와 니켈은 LIX 84를 사용하여 추출하면 각각 pH2에서 100% 그리고 pH4～5에서 90% 이상 추출할 수 있다. 한편, 중금속이 혼재한산ㆍ알칼리계 도금폐수에 대한 용매추출에서는 먼저 3가 철을 지방산인 20％의 Naphthenic acid나 10％의 Versatic acid-10로 pH2∼2.5 부근에서 분리ㆍ회수하고, 그 다음에 3%의 LIX 84를 사용하여 pH2에서 구리를 용매추출하여 분리하고 난 후 20% PC-88A 로 pH2.5∼3에서 아연을 용매추출하여 회수하면 수상에 니켈만이 잔류하여 각각의 금속분리가 가능하다.

Emulsions were formed through putting small quantity of nickel electroplating solution into supercritical carbon dioxide, and then electroplating in the $sc-CO_2$ emulsions was conducted. It is an environmental-friendly technology that can solve the treatment of a large quantity of toxic plating wastewater, which is a big problem in the existing wet plating, and also can reduce secondary waste generation fundamentally. Supercritical carbon dioxide emulsions enhanced by ultrasonic horn were formed by non-ionic surfactant and nickel solution. Plating condition within emulsions was set up as 120bar and $55^{\circ}C$ through measurement of electrical conductivity following the pressure change. Experiments were conducted respectively against supercritical carbon dioxide emulsions electroplating and general chemical electroplating, and then their results were compared and analyzed. As the experiment result utilizing emulsions, plating surface was formed very evenly even with a small quantity of electroplating solution, and fine particles were plated compactly without any pinhole or crack due to hydrogenation, which occurs in general electroplating. Used electroplating solution can be reused through recovery process. Therefore, this technology will be able to be applied as new clean technology in electro-plating.

This study concernes the decomposition of cyanide ion in electroplating plant wastewater and COD variation of photodeveloping wastewater under various conditions. Determinations of CN- concentration were carried out by AgNO$_3$ titration method. The sample solutions were pretreated by passing ozone and decompositions were checked as a function of time for ozone treatment. Analysis of film developing wastewater was carried out by KMnO$_4$ method. Electroplating plant wastewater was also examined at various pH; decomposition rate of cyanide ion was found to increase at higher pH. Time required for the decomposition could be shortened by removing the heavy metal ions under alkaline condition. The effect of temperature on decomposition was studied at 40$^{\circ}$ and 60$^{\circ}C$. The result was better at 40$^{\circ}C$ although time for decomposition was almost same at both temperatures. Analysis of film developing wastewater revealed that COD decrease was faster during the first 1 to 2 hours. However, further decrease could not be effected. The existence of unknown special organics resistant to the decomposition was believed to be the reason.

Suitability of aluminium-based water treatment sludge (WTS), a waste product from water treatment facilities, was assessed for removal of heavy metals from an electroplating wastewater which had high concentrations of copper and chromium along with other heavy metals. Batch tests with simulated wastewater in single- and multi-metal solutions indicated the influence of initial pH and WTS dose on removal of six metals namely Cu(II), Co(II), Cr(VI), Hg(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II). In general, removal of cationic metals such as Pb(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) increased with increase in pH while that of anionic Cr(VI) showed a reduction with increased pH values. Tests with multi-metal solution showed that the influence of competition was more pronounced at lower WTS dosages. Column test with diluted (100 times) real electroplating wastewater showed complete removal of copper up to 100 bed volumes while chromium removal ranged between 78-92%. Other metals which were present in lower concentrations were also effectively removed. Mass balance for copper and chromium showed that the WTS media had Cu(II) and Cr(VI) sorption capacities of about 1.7 and 3.5 mg/g of dried sludge, respectively. The study thus indicates that WTS has the potential to be used as a filtration/adsorption medium for removal of metals from metal-bearing wastewaters.

Disposal of hazardous ions in the aqueous streams is a significant industrial waste problem.. Waste streams from electronics, electroplating, and photographic industries contain metal ions such as copper, nickel, zinc, chromium(IV), cadmium, aluminum, silver, and gold, amongst others in various aqueous solutions such as sulfates, chlorides, fluorocarbons, and cyanides. Typical plating solutions having similar compositions are listed in Table 1. Spent process streams in catalyst manufacturing facilities also contain precious metals such as Ag, Pt, and Pd. Developing an effective recovery process of these metal ions for reuse is important.

The determination of the effectiveness of the immobilization of blasting dust (waste generated in galvanic activities) in cement matrix, as well of mechanical, physical and microstructural properties of concrete paving blocks produced with partial replacement of cement was the objective of this work. The results showed that blasting dust has high percentage of silica in the composition and very fine particle size, characteristics that qualify it for replacement of cement in manufacturing concrete blocks. The replacement of Portland cement by up to 5% residues did not cause a significant loss in compressive strength nor increase in water absorption of the blocks. Chemical tests indicated that there is no problem of leaching or solubilization of contaminants to the environment during the useful life of the concrete blocks, since the solidification/stabilization process led to the immobilization of waste in the cement mass. Therefore, the use of blasting dust in the manufacture of concrete paving blocks is promising, thus being not only an alternative for proper disposal of such waste as well as a possibility of saving raw materials used in the construction industry.

우리나라 경제의 근간을 이루고 있는 철강산업, 자동차산업이나 전자산업에서 전기도금은 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다. 전기도금 폐액은 전처리, 도금 및 후처리과정에서 발생하는 폐액이고 다양한 금속염을 포함한 유해한 폐수이다. 현재 일반적인 폐수는 환경법상 배수 규제치 이하로 중화처리한 후 각종 금속이 혼합된 슬러지는 매립하거나 위탁처리하고 있는데, 처리에 따른 막대한 비용이 들뿐만 아니라 매립지 부족과 유가금속 자원 낭비를 초래하고 있다. 따라서 이러한 폐수에서 유가금속을 회수하는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 전기도금 폐액에서 금속을 선택적으로 회수하는 새로운 방법은 철산화세균을 이용하는 방법, 황화제를 이용한 황화물(MS) 회수법 및 유기용매를 이용한 용매추출법 등에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이들의 폐수처리방법을 이용하여 Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni 등의 금속이온이 혼합된 폐수에서 유가금속을 95%이상 회수하는 성과를 거두었다. 이는 전기도금공정에서 배출되는 폐수를 폐기할 것이 아니라 도시광산의 중요한 금속자원으로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

도금폐수중의 시안이온의 전기화학적 분해 및 아연이온의 제거에 관한 연구를 백금으로 도금된 티타늄 양극과 스텐레스 음극 전극을 사용하여 수행하였다. 전기분해시간, 셀전류, 첨가제, 염화물농도등의 여러 가지 실험파라메터를 연구하여 도금폐수중의 시안화물 분해 및 수용액중의 아연이온의 효과적인 제거에 사용하였다. 셀전류와 첨가제의 종류에 따라 시안이온의 분해 및 아연이온의 제거 효율이 크게 영향을 받는 것이 발견되었다. 시안이온의 분해 및 아연이온의 제거를 위한 경제적이며 높은 효율을 나타내는 최적화된 조건은 1시간의 전기분해시간, 12A의 전류, 그리고 0.5 M NaCl 첨가제를 사용하여 확립하였다. 양극에서의 시안이온의 분해에 관한 반응메카니즘도 논의하였다.
