Abstract:
Chromium values are recovered from wash water following a chemical treatment step in electrotinplating lines in a process comprising treating in a cation exchange zone, treating in an anion exchange zone, regenerating the anion exchange zone, treating effluent from said regeneration in a cation exchange zone and passing effluent from the cation exchange zone to a storage zone, passing effluent from said regeneration to the storage zone without intermediate cation exchange treatment.
