Recovering Your Metals and Reusing Them, Too

摘要

The rate of ROI on the EW Metals system will vary according to a particular finisher's overall plating capacity and the specific recovery system installed. However, all EW Metals systems-regardless of system capacity-offer the following benefits: 1. no dendrite formation, which eliminates shorting 2. high current density operation for faster recovery of nickel metal 3. economical recovery value well below other forms of recovery 4. lower initial investment vs. other types of recovery 5. very fast return on investment While nickel and copper are most ideal metals for which the EW system is designed, it can be used with other materials. These include palladium, gold, and precious metals, to name a few. The company also reports success with electroless nickel recovery. "The only issue with electroless nickel is the amount you might recover is so small that your return on investment would be much longer," Field said. In addition, the system is designed to recover metals out of stripping solutions, thereby addressing another waste stream. EW Metals is part of a family of companies covering: plating/finishing; chemicals (Benchmark Products); recycling equipment and chemistries (Clear Solutions); and metals recovery.
