Description
Non-poisonous sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide zinc plating solution and preparation method thereof TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a non-poisonous sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide zinc plating solution and preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of plating solution and preparation thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The complexing agent is a compound capable of forming a complex ion with a metal ion. In an electroplating solution, except for a few electroplating solutions such as acid solution plating iron, plating nickel, plating chromium, and plating copper, which do not use or do not need to use a complexing agent, most electroplating solutions such as alkaline solution plating silver, plating gold, plating copper, plating zinc, plating tin, and plating copper-tin alloy need to use a complexing agent.
[0003] A commonly used complexing agent such as cyanide is widely used in the electroplating industry because the cyanide ion has excellent complexing ability, and cyanide electroplating is the best electroplating method. However, NaCN, KCN, CuCN, and the like used in cyanide electroplating are highly toxic compounds, and the lethal dose thereof for a human being is only 0.005 g. The cyanide not only harms the health of an operator but also pollutes the environment, and the treatment of wastewater is difficult, and the treatment cost thereof is extremely high. Therefore, in order to protect the environment and reduce public hazards, it is urgent to develop a complexing agent for replacing cyanide for use in a cyanide-free electroplating process.
[0004] Publication No. CN103755738B, published on June 1, 2016, discloses a complexing agent, a preparation method and use thereof. The complexing agent is applied to the production of an electroplating solution, is convenient to process, has strong complexing ability to metals, and has a complexing constant of 10 26~27 for copper ions, which is much better than that of a cyanide-free complexing agent in the prior art. The electroplating solution prepared from the complexing agent has stable quality, good dispersibility, a wide range of process current density, and a wide application range. With higher requirements for the quality of electroplated products, after meeting the higher complexing force, the deep plating ability of the complexing agent also needs to be considered, the plating layer needs to be more compact, and the electroplating efficiency needs to be improved to achieve energy saving of the electroplating process. Based on the problems to be solved in the newly proposed cyanide-free electroplating, the present inventors have developed a new non-poisonous sodium cyanide or potassium cyanide zinc plating solution and disclosed a preparation method thereof. SUMMARY
