Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of metal surface protection, specifically relating to a cyanide-free cadmium plating removal solution, its preparation method, and the cadmium removal method thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Cadmium electroplating is a surface treatment technology widely used in aerospace, electronics, electrical engineering, and corrosion protection. Cadmium plating exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, a low coefficient of friction, and good electrical conductivity, making it crucial in demanding fields such as aerospace. However, traditional cadmium electroplating processes typically use cyanide as the main component. Cyanide is highly toxic and poses a serious threat to the environment and the health of operators.

[0003] During the production and maintenance of parts, defects or wear of the electroplated layer are inevitable, requiring rework. This typically involves removing the plating and replating. Existing methods for removing cadmium plating primarily involve using ammonium nitrate solutions. While effective, this method is limited by the fact that ammonium nitrate is a controlled chemical with explosive hazards and is difficult to procure, restricting its widespread application. Currently, if ammonium nitrate is not used, acidic substances such as chromic acid and sulfuric acid are required, which can adversely affect the dimensions and properties of the substrate, especially when processing high-precision parts, making them more susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. Hydrogen embrittlement can cause sudden fracture of metal materials under external forces, severely impacting the reliability and lifespan of parts. Therefore, developing an environmentally friendly, safe, easy-to-operate, and non-adverse-effect-on-the-substrate cyanide-free cadmium plating removal solution is of paramount importance.

[0004] Chinese patent CN118086907A discloses an alkaline zinc / cadmium plating stripping solution, its preparation method, and its application. Under room temperature conditions, immersing steel parts with cadmium or zinc plating in the stripping solution allows for complete removal of the plating. Using sodium m-nitrobenzenesulfonate as the oxidant oxidizes zinc / cadmium into ions without oxidizing the metal plating, ensuring the surface smoothness of the substrate. Stripping in a weakly alkaline environment significantly reduces hydrogen embrittlement, making it suitable for removing zinc / cadmium plating from the surfaces of high-precision, high-strength steel parts. However, this method does not consider enhancing the slow-release effect during the stripping process.

[0005] Chinese patent CN117587408A discloses a method for stripping substandard zinc-cadmium alloy plating from high-strength steel. Sodium nitrite is used as an oxidant for the zinc-cadmium alloy plating and a corrosion inhibitor for the steel substrate; ammonium bicarbonate is used as a coordinating agent for zinc and cadmium ions and a pH buffer for the plating solution; and ammonium chloride is used as a coordinating agent for zinc and cadmium ions and a promoter for dissolving the zinc-cadmium alloy plating. If the pH of the stripping solution is too high, dilute nitric acid is used to lower the pH; if the pH is too low, sodium carbonate solution is used to raise the pH. However, this method is essentially just preparing ammonium nitrate in solution using other raw materials.

[0006] Chinese patent CN111690933B discloses a stripping solution and method for removing substandard cadmium plating from steel parts. The method involves immersing the substandard plating parts in the stripping solution at room temperature until the plating is completely removed, followed by rinsing with water. The stripping solution does not contain highly toxic hexavalent chromium, thus solving the high pollution problem associated with existing chromic acid stripping solutions. However, this process is acidic. Summary of the Invention

[0034] Ammonium borate: 50 g / L;

[0035] Benzotetrazole: 10 g / L;

[0036] Dodecylbenzenesulfonate ammonium: 20 g / L.

[0037] This invention is mainly achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0038] A method for preparing a cyanide-free cadmium plating stripping solution includes the following steps:

[0039] Step S1: Slowly add nitric acid to the ammonium salt dissolved in deionized water;

[0040] Step S2: After the solution cools, add the buffer, corrosion inhibitor and surfactant in sequence, and stir until homogeneous;

[0041] Step S3: Adjust the pH of the solution to 6.0-7.0 using ammonia.

[0042] To better realize the present invention, further, in step S2, the surfactant includes dodecylbenzenesulfonate amine, and the preparation of dodecylbenzenesulfonate amine includes the following steps:

[0043] Step T1: Sulfonyl chloride reaction:

[0044] Step T11: Add dodecylbenzene and solvent to the reaction vessel;

[0047] Step T2: Ammoniation reaction:

[0048] The generated dodecylbenzenesulfonyl chloride solution is slowly added to cooled ammonia water or ammonia gas stream, and the reaction temperature is set to 0-10℃; the reaction is stirred to generate dodecylbenzenesulfonate amine.

[0049] This invention is mainly achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0050] A method for removing cadmium from a cadmium plating, using the aforementioned cyanide-free cadmium plating removal solution, includes the following steps:

[0051] Step A1: Maintain the temperature of the cadmium removal solution at 10–40°C;

[0052] Step A2: Adjust the pH of the cadmium removal solution to 6.5 using ammonia or nitric acid;

[0053] Step A3: Immerse the cadmium-coated parts completely in the cadmium removal solution until the cadmium plating is completely removed.

[0054] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0055] (1) Addressing the current limitations of using ammonium nitrate, chromic acid, and sulfuric acid for stripping cadmium plating, this invention develops an environmentally friendly, safe, and easy-to-operate cyanide-free cadmium plating stripping solution that has no adverse effects on the substrate. The solution of this invention is nearly neutral, has high stripping efficiency, exhibits excellent stripping performance on cadmium-titanium plating, and has no adverse effects on substrate dimensions or hydrogen embrittlement. Compared to traditional acidic or alkaline stripping solutions, the solution of this invention is nearly neutral (pH between 6.0 and 7.0), reducing corrosion to the substrate and minimizing hydrogen embrittlement during operation. This is particularly important for industrial applications requiring high precision and reliability. Furthermore, traditional cadmium plating stripping methods rely on ammonium nitrate, which is explosive, dangerous, and difficult to obtain. This invention, by using a chemical composition free of ammonium nitrate, avoids the use of ammonium nitrate, significantly improving operational safety and environmental friendliness.

[0056] (2) The corrosion inhibitors used in this invention (such as benzotriazole, methylbenzotriazole, etc.) can effectively prevent corrosion of the substrate, ensuring that the dimensions and mechanical properties of the substrate are not affected during the stripping process. At the same time, these corrosion inhibitors can also suppress side reactions generated during dissolution, improving stripping efficiency and demonstrating good practicality. In the solution formulation of this invention, the selection and ratio of ammonium salts, buffers, corrosion inhibitors, and surfactants have been optimized to ensure high efficiency and stability during the stripping process. For example, ammonium chloride and ammonium sulfate in the ammonium salts not only provide good dissolving power but also play a role in corrosion inhibition during the stripping process.

[0057] (3) The surfactants of this invention (such as dodecylbenzenesulfonate amine, dodecyl polyoxyethylene ether, etc.) play a key role in the stripping process, preventing hydrogen atoms generated by the dissolution of the cadmium coating from penetrating into the substrate and reducing hydrogen embrittlement. They can also complex cadmium ions, accelerating the dissolution of the cadmium layer. This innovative application significantly improves the safety of the stripping process and the reusability of the substrate, and has good practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0117] Comparative Example 1:

[0118] A cadmium removal solution, comprising:

[0120] Temperature: 10℃.

[0121] Preparation steps for cadmium removal solution: Add ammonium nitrate to deionized water and stir until homogeneous.

[0122] Instructions for using cadmium removal solution: Keep the temperature of the cadmium removal solution at 10°C, and completely immerse the cadmium-coated parts in the solution until the cadmium plating is completely removed.

[0123] Comparative Example 2:

[0124] A cadmium removal solution, comprising:

[0125] Ammonium nitrate: 100g / L

[0126] Temperature: 25℃

[0127] Preparation steps for cadmium removal solution: Add ammonium nitrate to deionized water and stir until homogeneous.

[0129] Comparative Example 3:

[0135] The experimental results of the comparative examples above are shown in Table 1.

[0136] Comparative Examples 1-3 use commonly used ammonium nitrate solutions for cadmium removal. As shown in Table 1, when the coating is not passivated, the cadmium removal times of Examples 1-3 and their corresponding Comparative Examples 1-3 are similar. The difference in time can be attributed to the different reaction rates caused by different temperatures. When the coating is passivated using a hexavalent chromium passivation process, the conventional ammonium nitrate removal speed in Comparative Examples 1-3 is very slow, generally requiring more than 60 minutes to completely remove the cadmium coating. However, using the solutions of Examples 1-3 with added novel surfactants, the cadmium coating removal time is significantly shortened. This is because the surfactants can accelerate the destruction of the passivation film. After the cadmium coating is completely removed, the use of novel surfactants and corrosion inhibitors in Examples 1-3 greatly enhances the corrosion resistance of the substrate.

[0137] like Figure 2 As shown, (a1)-(a3) are SEM images of the electroplated substrate; (b1)-(b3) are SEM images of the electroplated substrate after the cadmium plating layer was removed in Example 1. Figure 3 As shown, (c1)-(c3) are SEM images of the electroplated substrate after the cadmium plating layer was removed in Example 2; (d1)-(d3) are SEM images of the electroplated substrate after the cadmium plating layer was removed in Example 3. Figure 4As shown, (e1)-(e3) are SEM images of the electroplated substrate after cadmium plating removal in Comparative Example 1; (f1)-(f3) are SEM images of the electroplated substrate after cadmium plating removal in Comparative Example 2; and (i1)-(i3) are SEM images of the electroplated substrate after cadmium plating removal in Comparative Example 3. Comparison revealed that the removal effects of Examples 1-3 were all better than those of Comparative Examples 1-3, exhibiting higher structural retention and stronger corrosion resistance after removal.

[0153] The equation for the above reaction is: C 12 H 25 C6H4SO2Cl + NH3 → C 12 H 25 C6H4SO2NH2+HCl.
