Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an alkaline electrolyte and a method for electrolytically preparing bright nickel in the alkaline electrolyte, belonging to the technical field of nonferrous metallurgy. (2) Background technology [0002] In the current electrolytic industrial production of nickel, the bright nickel is mainly prepared by electrolysis with the Watts nickel plating solution of the boric acid system. This process has been continuously improved and matured after decades of transformation and innovation. The progress of the traditional electrolytic nickel process is increasingly revealing its shortcomings in production. The disadvantages of the traditional electrolytic nickel process are as follows: [0003] 1. Using acidic system electrolytic nickel process, using boric acid as a buffer, it is necessary to strictly control the pH within the range of 4.5 to 5.4. If the pH is too low, the efficiency of the cathode will decrease, and if the pH is...
