Nickel Removal Technology for Electroplating Wastewater

Nickel Removal Technology for Electroplating Wastewater

Conventional methods such as coagulation, electrochemical treatment, ion exchange, and membrane separation are costly, unstable, and complex. Most cannot reliably reduce nickel to below 0.1 mg/L, the new limit in China’s discharge standards.

 

MOTIVA’s Advanced Nickel Removal Solution

 

MOTIVA utilizes its patented SAO3-IV ozone catalyst in a hybrid process that combines catalytic oxidation and coagulation. This approach significantly improves nickel removal, reducing concentrations from 0.3–0.8 mg/L to 0.03–0.08 mg/L, meeting GB21900-2008 standards in a single step.

 

High-Efficiency Chelated Nickel Breaker

 

Our SAO3 catalyst rapidly breaks the bonds of nickel chelates, converting them into free Ni²⁺ ions, which are then removed via precipitation. The breaking efficiency exceeds 99%, with effluent nickel consistently below 0.1 mg/L—ensuring stable, long-term compliance.
