Acid rinse after Nickel and Acid copper
Do we need to put sulfuric acid 5-7% rinse after Nickel and Acid copper, although these baths are acidic in nature,I feel by doing this we are only increasing the carry over TDS from this acid rinse and creating trouble in recycling water and Zero discharge. Experts please comment.

Dear Panjala,
It is not necessary to put sulfuric acid into the rinse water step. I do not know how are the waste water regulations in India, but here in Europe we have a strong regulation concerning the amount of sulphate in the waste water. With 5-7% sulfuric acid in your rinses you will rapidly increase your content of sulphate in your waste water, which is difficult to reduce.
