Abstract
An electrochemical approach was made to recover the nickel from plating was tes in the form of activated nickel by incorporating additives such as thio urea, sodium metabisulfite and sodium thiosulfate in the electrolyte. The a nodic behaviour of the nickel produced was studied for its suitability in a Watts nickel and chloride free sulfate baths. It was found that the activa ted nickel produced with sodium metabisulfite and thiourea additives perfor ms similarly to commercially available activated nickel anodes.
