Nickel Recovery from plating waste
Nickel Recovery from plating waste
(OP)
HI,
I have approx 5000 pounds of a solid nickel waste that I would like to reclaim and/or sell. The waste was generated from a nickel sulfamate plating bath that sat in an unused tank for over 10 years and has completely solidified.
I do not want to dispose of this since the value of nickel is rising so quickly. I am searching for a reclamation facility and hoping to offset the transportation and reclamation costs and maybe get some money back.
I have searched the web and Thomas Register. I have called a few places but to no avail. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.

There is/was a company near Pittsburgh that uses Cr and Ni wastes in the manufacture of stainless steel, but freight would have been excessive for me, and I don't recall the name.
Hope this helps,
