A recycling process of metallic wastes from a steel plant such as iron oxide, waste acid, spent zinc anode, scrap to ferrous chloride electroplating solution was developed. The process consists of three steps : 1) minimization of impurities contained in wastes 2) reduction of ferric chloride to ferrous chloride with metallic reducing agent and 3) properties evaluation of recycled ferrous chloride solution. In order to decrease the content of impurities such as Cr, Al, Mn, Mi, Mg, Na and K in iron oxide which is the main waste used in this study, dissolution and precipitation steps were used. Ferric chloride solution formed by the dissolution of iron oxide must be reduced to ferrous chloride which can be used as electroplating solution. In this study, the characteristics of reduction process with steel chips and waste zinc anode were examined. Property evaluation of manufactured ferrous chloride solution through quality test of electroplated layer was conducted. Fe content, microstructure, surface roughness, brightness and whiteness of electroplated layers were similar to those by commercial ferrous chloride electroplating solution.
