| Abstract Scope |
Electroplating is one of the most importing part in the modern manufacturing industry. All of our modern electronics need some sort of electroplating process to help it achieve its goals. From smart phone, computer, heavy machinery, decoration, to motor vehicle, almost everything that we used nowadays need electroplating in some ways.
However, at the same time electroplating factory can do much harm to the natural environment. Electroplating industry produce 2.7 billion gallon of waste water in China every year. And most of it won’t be treated to the required level and all goes to the river and ocean. This cause a big issue for the environment.
Futianbao Environment Protection Technology Ltd. developed a new way to treat the electroplating waste water. This technology meets the "zero emission" requirement in China. At the same time, it achieves the goal of harmful waste reduction and resource recycling. |
