Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03029518A2] Various methods have been proposed to separate precious metal from a fluid utilized for plating. The known methods and devices are complicated and expensive. To overcome this problem, a method and a device for plating work pieces with a fluid containing at least one precious metal are provided. According to the invention the work pieces are contacted with the fluid and the fluid is filtered, after use, through at least one ceramic membrane filter in order to separate the at least one precious metal from the fluid. According to the invention a ceramic membrane filter having an exclusion pore size in excess of 10,000 Dalton is utilized.
