ABSTRACT:
A filter system includes a tank for holding waste water with an inlet port for receiving waste water from an electroplating process, and an outlet port for dispensing filtered water back to the electroplating process. A plurality of anode elements and cathode elements are arranged within the tank in a repeating pattern of anode and cathode from one end of the tank to the other. The anode elements are formed of a mesh sheet of electrically conductive material, and the cathode elements include a pair of electrically conductive mesh sheets which are mounted to a frame to form a box. Each cathode box is filled with electrically conductive shavings, to increase the surface area for removing heavy metals from the waste water. The anodes and cathodes are removably slidably received within the tank, and are electrically connected to a DC power supply, the anodes connected to the positive terminal and the cathodes connected to the negative terminal.
