[0002] Electroplating is a surface treatment technology that deposits a layer of metal onto the surface of another material through an electrolytic process. Nickel, as an important electroplating material, is widely used in various industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance, hardness, and appearance characteristics. During the electroplating of nickel, nickel exists in the form of ions in the electroplating solution. When an electric current passes through, nickel ions are reduced and deposited as a layer of metallic nickel on the cathode. However, not all of the nickel is completely deposited on the object to be plated, and some nickel ions remain in the electroplating solution and flow into wastewater with the rinsing water. The electroplating industry produces a large amount of electroplating nickel-containing wastewater every year, and direct discharge not only wastes resources but also causes serious environmental pollution.

[0003] The existing nickel recovery device usually first introduces the electroplating nickel-containing wastewater into a storage tank, then sends it to a filter for preliminary filtration, and then enters an ion exchanger for nickel ion exchange and adsorption, thereby realizing the recovery of nickel ions. The residence time of wastewater in the storage tank is relatively long, so heavier particulate matter will gradually settle to the bottom of the tank. The sediment may accumulate inside the pump inlet, valves, and other conveying equipment, causing these components to become clogged or functionally degraded, which in turn affects the normal operation of the entire system.
