A process for removing metal sulfates from dilute aqueous solutions in which a conductivity control solution is injected into the stream. The solution is selected to increase the conductivity of the stream to a value wherein the ion state of each metal is then modified by passing the stream between electrodes of each pair of an array of pairs of electrodes. A voltage is imposed across each pair of electrodes, selected according to a target ion state for each of the various contaminants. The pH of the stream is then increased to a value where precipitate of metal hydroxide of the metal sulfates are formed. The precipitated metal hydroxide is then removed from the stream leaving a reduced amount of sulfate ions. A chemical is added to the stream in sufficient concentration to precipitate remaining sulfate ions from the waste stream which are removed by settling/filtering
