The invention discloses a roller plating process of trivalent yellow zinc. The roller plating process comprises the following steps of raw material purchasing, feeding, chemical oil removal, water washing, electrolysis oil removal, water washing, acid washing, water washing, electrolysis oil removal, water washing, activation, water washing, alkali soaking, electroplating, water washing, film thickness inspection, transferring, light emitting, water washing, passivation, water washing, spin drying, sealing, drying, discharging, final inspection, packaging and storage, wherein in the passivation step, the raw materials subjected to the light-out water washing are added into a passivating agent aqueous solution for passivating, the pH value is controlled to be 1.6-2.0, the temperature is 24-35 DEG C, the soaking time of the passivating agent is 45-100 s, and the air stirring pressure is 0.4 MPa; and the passivating agent comprises the following components in parts by weight: 5-8 parts ofchromium chloride and 18-22 parts of sodium nitrate, 8-12 parts of sodium fluoride, and 35-45 parts of nickel sulfate. The process has the beneficial effects that hexavalent chromium in the passivating agent can be replaced with trivalent chromium to produce the yellow zinc, so that the characteristics of environmental friendliness and low toxicity are achieved.
