In the present study, the sorption and recovery of metal ions from industrial solid residues proceeding from galvanoplasty industry (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) was investigated by using two commercial ion exchange resins Lewatit VPOC 1800 (strong acid, gel type) and Lewatit VPOC 1960 (strong basic, gel type) produced by Lanxess - Bayer Chemicals. The physical-chemical characteristics of the resins and galvanic sludge were determined. The studies of sorption of the resins were conduced under batch and column conditions. Based on these studies the sorption parameters and the breakthrough curves for both resins were determined. Studies of equilibrium and kinetic of the sorption were also performed. The electroplating residue were composed of the metals Cu2+, Fe3+, Al3+, Ni2+ and Cr3+. The sorption capacity qe of the resin Lewatit VPOC1800 varied between 0.1-1.9 mg g-1 to Cu2+, 0.01-0.6 mg g-1 to Fe3+ and 0.2-0.4 mg g-1 to Al3+. While for the resin Lewatit VPOC1960 the values of qe varied between 0.01-0.4 mg g-1 to Cu2+ and 0.01-0.2 mg g-1 to Fe3+ depending of the metal concentration and contact time. The sorption capacity for Lewatit VPOC1960 was restricted to ions Cu2+ and Fe3+ that to form anionic complexes with chloride. The Freudlich model was more adequate to describe the ion exchange equilibrium for both resins and the sorption mechanism was compliant to the kinetic model of pseudo second order type 1. The breakpoint to Cu2+ occurred after passing 1860 cm3 and 2220 cm3 of residue solution through the resins Lewatit VPOC1800 and Lewatit VPOC1960, respectively (20 g of the resin, 100 ppm of Cu2+, flow rate of 60 cm3 min-1). The metals Cu2+, Fe3+ and Al3+ were desorbed on high proportion of the Lewatit VPOC1800 through passing a aqueous solution H2SO4 2.4 mol L-1. Already the metals Cu2+ and Fe3+ were eluted to Lewatit VPOC1960 with HCl aqueous solution 2.0 mol L-1. The selective recuperation of the Cu2+ was not reach because the Cu2+ and Fe3+ precipitated on similar pH
