The invention discloses a method for the low-pressure soft-state
corrosion of an
aluminum foil. The method comprises the following steps that: S1, the
aluminum foil is prepared, and pretreatment is carried out; S2,
electrochemical corrosion is conducted, specifically, the
aluminum foil is subjected to
electrification corrosion in acid, and
water washing is conducted after
corrosion is completed; S3, intermediate treatment is performed, specifically, with the aluminum foil adopted as an
anode, the aluminum foil is subjected to
electrification treatment in an
ammonium adipate solution; S4, washing is performed, specifically, the aluminum foil subjected to the intermediate treatment is washed with water; S5, the steps S2 to S4 are repeated until a required aluminum foil corrosion amount is obtained; and S6, after
chemical cleaning,
water washing is carried out, stabilizing treatment and high-temperature
sintering are carried out, so that an etched foil is obtained. In the step S1, the aluminum foil is a to-be-corroded aluminum foil which is also called plain foil. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the
ammonium adipate is used for carrying out
electrification treatment, so that treatment in a purification chemical method is replaced; the raw materials of the intermediate treatment can be used for a long time, the use of
ammonia or
phosphorus compounds is avoided,
nitrogen and
phosphorus emission is reduced, and therefore, cost is low,
environmental protection is facilitated, and the
specific volume of the etched foil can be increased; compared with the treatment in the purification chemical method, the intermediate treatment can obtain higher
specific volume with an aluminum foil with a thickness the same as the thickness of an aluminum foil used in the treatment in the purification chemical method.
