D. Sivakumar, R. Kayalvizhi, P. Saraswathi

Abstract


This study was focused on removal copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) from electroplating industry wastewater using the method called electro-dialysis method. The experimental investigations have been carried out by using electro-dialysis method for different temperature and different agitation speed with two electrodes namely carbon and iron. The results showed that the maximum percentage removal of Cu and Ni in the electroplating industrial wastewater was obtained at the temperature of 50oC and agitation speed of 100 rpm respectively by electro-dialysis method. Thus, this study concluded that electro-dialysis method was effectively used for removing Cu and Ni from electroplating industry.
