    摘要: Spent ferric chloride etching compositions are regenerated by electrolysis which includes introducing spent ferric chloride etching composition containing total iron content substantially equal to the original total iron content of fresh etching composition into the anode compartment of an electrolysis cell that contains an anode compartment, a cathode compartment, and an anion-exchange membrane separating the compartments, and applying voltage of +0.6 to +1.5 volts versus a saturated calomel electrode to the anode.

    摘要: Fuel cell catalysts which are efficient, long-lived, and refurbishable in-situ include gold carrying a UPD (underpotential deposited) deposit of another element. UPD Ag, Pt, Pd, Ir, Rh, or Tl, Pb, Bi is formed on Au crystallites which are carried on and bonded to the surfaces of substrate carbon particles. The crystallites cause dissociative adsorption of the oxygen molecules so that four electrons are produced per molecule during the reduction reaction which is involved. In an alkaline electrolyte, the catalyst metals such as Pd, lr, Ag, Rh and Ptshow no tendency to poison the counter electrode (counter relative to the other electrode) since each of those metals is a good catalyst for both electrodes. Suitable fuels include methanol (CH 3 OH), formaldehyde (HCHO), and formic acid (HCOOH).

    摘要: A system for the automatic, on-line analysis and control of additives in chemical processing solutions in manufacturing processes is disclosed. The automatic control system embodiment includes a sensing system such as measuring a cell (10) in which appropriate sensors are located. For electrochemical measurements, a three electrode cell with a rotating disk sensor is employed to control agitation of the sample solution. Other sensors on electrodes are used to measure pH and a thermometer is provided to monitor temperature. The sensing process, like the sampling process, is automatically controlled by a controller (18). The system, in addition to the sensing means and controller, further includes a plating tank (20), a mixing tank (22), a pump or control valve (24) and a reservoir (26). The measuring cell (10) may be disposed in the bath in a standard plating tank in which the plating bath solution is contained. Alternatively, a flow through tank may be used in which the plating solution may flow into and from as desired. When the sensing means so determines, a replenishment bath from the reservoir can be pumped into the mixing tank by means of the pump or control valve means under the command of signals from the controller which in turn receives output signals from the measuring cell.

    摘要: A rotating disk electrode system operates at constant speed in a solution whose metal ion concentration is held constant at multiple concentrations within a range of concentration. The current at the working electrode (16) is recorded, while the potential at the working electrode is swept by potential source (20) at a predetermined rate for each of the concentration values. The diffusion limiting current is determined by recorder (24) for each of the concentration values. Then the rotating disk electrode system is operated continuously in a metal plating bath (12) whose metal ion concentration can vary. A voltage applied to the working electrode produces a current at the electrode whose magnitude is compared to the values of the previous calibration to determine the current metal ion concentration. Alternatively, a rotating disk electrode system is operated over a range of speeds in a solution whose ion concentration is held constant over a range of concentration. Current at the working electrode is measured for a given electric potential applied to the working electrode. In this way, a calibration relationship between the current at the electrode and the range of metal ion concentrations is established which can be used with current measured in the plating bath under the same conditions as those that established the calibration curve to predict the concentration of the bath. ;
