Abstract |
Problems considered: processes using cyanide zinc plating baths; 3 alternative cyanide-free plating processes (alkaline non-cyanide, neutral, and weak acid); hydrogen cyanide emission from plating baths; handling of cyanide salts; possible inhalation of cyanide dust when adding cyanides to plating baths. Preventive measures: reduction of cyanide content of plating bath; rim exhaust slots; personal protection. As regards cadmium, this health hazardous metal can often be replaced by Zn; use of Cd in surface treatment will probably be prohibited in Sweden in future. |
