| Description |
Wastewater, spent solvent, spent process solutions, and sludge are the major waste
streams generated in large volumes daily in electroplating industries. These waste
streams can be significantly minimized through process modification and operational
improvement.Waste minimization methods have been implemented in some of the electroplating
industries. Suggestions such as practicing source reduction approaches, reduction
in drag out and waste, process modification and environmental benefits, have
also been adopted. In this endeavor, extensive knowledge covering various disciplines
has been studied, which makes problem solving extremely easy. Moreover, available
process data pertaining to waste minimization (WM) is usually imprecise, incomplete,
and uncertain due to the lack of sensors, the difficulty of measurement, and process
variations. In this article waste minimization techniques and its advantages on
the improvement of working atmosphere and reduction in operating cost have been
discussed.
