Capillary zone electrophoresis was used in the analysis of anions and cations in electroless plating bath samples. Examples described in this application note include the analysis of inorganic and organic anions in nickel-plating baths, cations in nickel-iron-cobalt-plating baths and metal-EDTA complexes in plating bath waste. Sample preparation was minimal, consisting merely of diluting the sa...

The first section of this chapter describes general pollution prevention techniques for plating solutions and covers housekeeping, monitoring, additives, equipment modification, and on-site recycling and recovery. The next section covers general issues in pollution prevention for cyanide-based plating. The next seven sections cover pollution prevention options for plating specific metals such a...

This paper deals with the preparation and characterization of Nickel-coated Alumina ceramic particles by Electroless Plating Technique. Nanosized α-Al2O3 powders of about 50nm in diameter are used for plating. The bath for Electroless Nickel Plating is prepared with NiCl2.6H2O, C6H5NaO7.H2O, NH4Cl and NaH2PO2.H2O. A bath temperature of 85°C, pH value of 8 and stirring time of 20 min is consider...
