[0031] The mixing zone 1 is provided with an inlet 3 and a dispensing port 4 at the top. The inlet 3 is connected to the plating tank and is used to discharge the silver plating solution in the plating tank into the mixing zone 1. The dispensing port 4 is used to add activated carbon into the mixing zone 1. The mixing zone 1 is provided with a stirring component, which is used to fully mix the silver plating solution and activated carbon into a mixed solution. The mixing zone 1 is provided with an outlet 5 at the bottom, from which the mixed solution is discharged.

[0032] The filtration zone 2 is located below the mixing zone 1. A return port 6 is provided on the side of the filtration zone 2. The filtration zone 2 is equipped with a coarse filter 7, a centrifugal pump 8, and a fine filter 9. The outlet 5 is connected to the inlet of the coarse filter 7, the outlet of the coarse filter 7 is connected to the inlet of the centrifugal pump 8, the outlet of the centrifugal pump 8 is connected to the inlet of the fine filter 9, and the outlet of the fine filter 9 is connected to the return port 6.

The purified solution is then returned to the plating tank, achieving effective purification and reuse of the silver plating solution and reducing the difficulty of treating the silver plating solution.

The rotating shaft of the stirring pump 10 extends into the mixing zone 1, and stirring blades 11 are provided on the rotating shaft.

[0036] Optionally, the capacity of mixing zone 1 is greater than that of the plating tank. For example, if the plating tank capacity is 350L, the capacity of mixing zone 1 is designed to be 400L to fully accommodate the silver plating solution and activated carbon.

[0037] Optionally, the coarse filter 7 is a bag filter, which is installed on the outer surface of the filtration zone 2 to facilitate subsequent treatment of the filtered activated carbon and impurities, thus facilitating the daily maintenance of the coarse filter 7.

After the mixed solution in the mixing zone 1 is fully stirred and mixed, the first valve 12 is opened to allow the mixed solution to be discharged into the filtration zone 2.

[0039] Optionally, a second valve 13 is installed on the connecting pipeline between the coarse filter 7 and the centrifugal pump 8. After most of the activated carbon and impurities are filtered out by the mixed solution in the coarse filter 7, the second valve 13 is opened.

[0040] Optionally, a third valve 14 and a pressure sensor 15 are installed on the connecting pipeline between the centrifugal pump 8 and the fine filter 9. The pressure sensor 15 is used to detect the pressure in the connecting pipeline and is connected to the centrifugal pump 8 for control. After the mixed solution undergoes centrifugation to further precipitate activated carbon and impurity particles, the third valve 14 is opened. The centrifugal pump 8 is a multi-stage centrifugal pump, and the sensor controls the opening and closing of the centrifugal pump 8 by sensing the liquid pressure, ensuring that the centrifugal pump 8 operates under normal working conditions.

[0041] Optionally, the fine filter 9 is composed of multiple PP melt-blown filter elements connected in series.

[0042] The filtration accuracy of PP meltblown filter cartridges can reach 0.1μm. Multiple PP meltblown filter cartridges can achieve multi-stage precision filtration of mixed solutions, ensuring the cleanliness of the discharged purified solution.

[0043] Optionally, the dispensing port 4 is equipped with a switch panel 16, which has a handle to facilitate manual opening and dispensing of activated carbon measured as required.
