The invention discloses a method for treating 
electroplating wastewater. The method comprises the following steps: (1) primary physical-
chemical treatment; (2) secondary physical-
chemical treatment: after the discharged water generated in step (1) is subject to homogenizing treatment, adding 
sodium hypochlorite into the homogenized water, then adding 
sodium pyrosulfite into the obtained product to remove 
residual chlorine, and adding aluminum chlorhydroxide into the obtained product; and (3) biochemical 
system treatment: adding appropriate biochemical 
sewage into the product obtained in step (2), mixing the biochemical 
sewage and the product, then feeding the obtained mixture into a biological 
hydrolysis pool; controlling the mixture under appropriate conditions and within an appropriate 
retention time; carrying out reduction on the obtained mixture by utilizing 
facultative anaerobes; and hydrolyzing the obtained discharged water subjected to reduction, feeding the discharged water into an aerobic 
biological oxidation pond, and then carrying out 
mass propagation of 
engineering bacterias under an appropriate condition by using organic pollutants in 
wastewater. By using the method provided by the invention, the total treatment rates of a 
system are as follows: the 
treatment rate of heavy 
metal is greater than or equal to 99.7 percent, the 
treatment rate of 
ammonia nitrogen is greater than or equal to 90 percent, and the 
treatment rate of 
chemical oxygen demand (COD) is greater than or equal to 88 percent, therefore, the 
electroplating wastewater treated by using the method comprehensively meets the requirements of the 
Discharge Standard for Pollutants from 
Electroplating Industry (GB21900-2008).
