Wastewater from the electroplating process contains high concentration of heavy metals, are harmful to aquatic life in the receiving waters. Physical - chemical method is commonly used for the treatment of electroplating wastes. The installation costs of treatment plants are 7% and 15% of the total capital invest­ments for the small and large scale plants respectively. The unit treatment costs for electroplating wastes are US$1.46/m 3 and US$0.33/m3 of wastewater treated for small and large plants respectively.
