Immersion decontamination

Immersion decontamination is a process used in the electroplating industry to remove pollutants from the waste water produced during the electroplating process. During electroplating, metals are deposited on the surfaces of workpieces by electrochemical processes. This produces wastewater that may contain heavy metals, acids and other potentially harmful substances.

Immersion decontamination involves immersing the contaminated wastewater in a special cleaning bath containing chemicals or adsorbents to bind or neutralize the pollutants. This process removes the pollutants from the wastewater or converts them into a less harmful form.

This process has several advantages. Firstly, it helps to reduce the environmental impact of the electroplating industry by preventing pollutants from being released into the environment. Secondly, immersion decontamination allows the purified wastewater to be reused or disposed of safely in accordance with environmental requirements and regulations.

Immersion decontamination is an integral part of electroplating processes and is used by companies in various industries, including automotive, electronics manufacturing, jewelry manufacturing and surface finishing. By implementing this process, companies can promote greener production practices while ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
