Abstract

A method for processing a waste solution used in a chemical plating process and including a heavy metal complex salt, a reducing agent, and a pH adjusting agent. The heavy metal complex salt is decomposed into a heavy metal component and a complexing agent component by applying ultrasonic vibration to the waste solution. The heavy metal component obtained by decomposition is in a powder state. Then the waste solution is filtered, so that the heavy metal component may be separated from the complexing agent component.
