Abstract:A variety of recyclable metallic elements (such as nickel) are associated with industrial electroplating wastewater. Therefore, accurate and rapid determination of nickel content in nickel-containing electroplating wastewater is of great significance for improving the comprehensive utilization of nickel-containing wastewater. In the experiment, diacetylgyoxime spectrophotometry was used to determine the amount of nickel in nickel-containing wastewater with a nickel content of 1.0% to 15.0%. The results show that the measured values are consistent with the certified values. The relative standard deviation of this method is 0.15% to 0.72% (RSD, n=11), and the recoveries for standard addition is 93.53% to 105.17%. The experimental method was used to determine the nickel in the actual sample of nickel-containing wastewater, and the method was compared with the EDTA complex titration method. The results of the two methods were consistent. Therefore, the diacetylgyoxime spectrophotometry method has good repeatability, high precision, accurate and reliable measurement results, and can meet the analysis requirements.
