for Metal Finishing Applications
Plating Sol. Resin Type Capacity Regenerant
lbs. Metal/ft3
Watts Nickel strong acid cation 1.8 H2SO4 or HCl
Sulfamate Nickel strong acid cation 1.8 sulfamic acid
Acid Copper strong acid cation 2.0 H2SO4 or HCl
Acid Zinc strong acid cation 1.8 HCl
Cyanide Copper1 strong acid cation 1.5 H2SO4
Cyanide Zinc1 strong acid cation 1.2 H2SO4 or HCl
Cyanide Cadmium1 strong acid cation 1.3 H2SO4
Cyanide1 medium base anion 1.6 NaOH
Tin/Lead Fluoroborate strong acid cation 6.5 methyl-sulfamic acid
Chrome Plating Cation strong acid cation 1.7 H2SO4 or HCl

1Cyanide metal solutions are treated first by a strong acid cation
resin (cyanide complex destruction and metal recovery) followed
by a medium base anion resin (cyanide recovery). This process
is discussed in Section 3.4.3.
