Application Note:
Cyanide Monitoring in the Plating Industry
Cyanide-bearing wastes are generated in the stripping, cleaning, or plating processes, where highly acidic solutions are involved. It’s crucial to measure and treat toxic compounds that build up in rinse tanks and elsewhere in your plating facility, ensuring that harmful compounds are destroyed prior to discharge. Review basic system guidelines and operating parameters in this useful reference.
