Problems solved by technology

Scholars at home and abroad have done a lot of research on the copper plating process. Hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid copper plating has been used in mass production reports abroad. The cyanide-free alkaline copper plating produced by Plaschem and Cupral companies uses organic phosphonates as formula; the current domestic pyrophosphate copper plating is used for acid sulfate copper plating on zinc alloy substrates, and has been widely used in copper plating thickening processes for tubular and complex workpieces; the invention of Chinese patent publication No. CN101550569A is based on Ethyl diphosphonic acid is the main complexing agent, citrate is the auxiliary complexing agent, and the current density of the formed alkaline copper plating process is in the range of 0.5-3A/dm 2 , the temperature control range is wide, the coating crystallization is fine, and the electrolyte is stable, but these processes are prone to phosphorus pollution in wastewater
And the reported EDTA can also be used for cyanide-free alkaline copper plating process as the main complexing agent, but because the boiling action of EDTA and copper ion is too strong, it is not convenient for waste water treatment
The invention of Chinese patent public
