Sorptive removal of Ni(II) from electroplating rinse wastewaters by cation exchange resin Dueolite C 20 was investigated at the temperature of 30 degrees C under dynamic conditions in a packed bed. The effects of sorbent bed length 0.1-0.2 m, fixed flow rate 6 dm(3) min(-1), and the initial rinse water concentration (C-0) 53.1 mg L-1 on the sorption characteristics of Dueolite C 20 were investigated at an influent pH of 6.5. More than 94.5% of Ni(II) was removed in the column experiments. The column performance was improved with increasing bed height and decreasing the flow rate. The Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, Clark, and Wolborska models were applied to the experimental data to represent the breakthrough curves and determine the characteristic design parameters of the column. The sorption performance of the Ni(II) ions through columns could be well described by the Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, and Wolborska models at effluent-to-influent concentration ratios (C/C-0) > 0.03 and < 0.99. Among the all models, the Clark model showed the least average percentage time deviation. The sorptive capacity of electroplating rinse water using Ni(II) was found to be 45.98 mg g(-1).
