Title Methods for preventing emission and spreading of chromic acid mist from chromium electroplating baths
Original title Metody zapobiegania emisji i rozprzestrzeniania się mgły kwasu chromowego z kąpieli do galwanicznego chromowania [in Polish]
Bibliographic information 1988, Vol.38, No.136, p.39-50. 68 ref.
Abstract Methods presented in the article fall into 2 groups: mechanical and physico-chemical. Mechanical methods include: local ventilation, use of tank covers and floats. Local ventilation is most frequently used in practice, but it is very energy-consuming. Physico-chemical methods involve the change in the qualitative and quantitative composition of chromium electroplating baths. Perfluorinated surface-active compounds may be of importance in the future due to their resistance to chromic acid at elevated temperatures.
