FIELD: electroplating. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to utilization and processing galvanic slimes produced on treatment plants of electroplating entertainments. Method comprises stirring galvanic slimes with peat in reactor. Peat is used in amount 10 to 45% of the weight of galvanic slimes, from which 20-40% (based on the total weight of peat) are introduced into reactor before charging galvanic slime and the rest of peat is added in the course filling of reactor with galvanic slimes.
