Adsorption of impurities from nickel-plating baths using commercial sorbents to reduce wastewater discharges

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of the principal impurities of nickel-plating baths of an industry was analyzed in this work, and the removal of Zn2+ was studied in more detail since the presence of this metal in the baths generates black spots on the coated pieces.
