Technical background
Cr VI chromium plating is one of most widely used plating in electroplating industry, has a large capacity and a wide range, and iron and steel, aluminum, plastics, copper alloy and zinc-base close
On gold die casting will decorative chromium plating, the electroplating parts of function plating (hard chrome) includes hydraulic cylinder and plunger, bent axle, printed panel/cylinder, interior
Combustion engine piston, mould of plastics and the manufacture of glass fibre workpiece, cutting element etc., be also used for repair abrasion workpiece, such as cylinder, mould,
Cylinder and the reparation of bent axle.Cr VI coating has good hardness, wearability, decay resistance and dicoration, is applied not only to decorative coating,
And it is largely used to the reparation etc. of functional coating and workpiece, it is possible to utilize micro-crack layers of chrome as lubrication coating application (hard chrome) traditional chromium plating
Technology has been used up Cr VI (chromic acid) as main plating raw material, Cr VI coating, Bai Liang, hardness height, wear-resistant and Corrosion Protection
Good, and technique is simple, easy to maintenance.But sexavalence chromium plating is the most serious, one of polluter of the most intractable electroplating industry.Chromium is biological
One of necessary element of normal metabolic process, it is chaotic that scarce chromium will result in the metabolism such as sugar, fat, but chromium too high levels, then to biological and people
Health cause serious harm.Environmental Protection Agency USA (EPA) is one of toxicant being defined as 17 kinds of highly dangerous by Cr VI.Chromium is in water
Existing with trivalent and hexavalent form, the most chromic toxicity is very big, the most chromic 100 times, if chromic content is more than 0.1 in water
The concentration of mg/litre, will produce toxic action to human body.Cr VI has serious zest to skin, can cause skin ulcer, take in for a long time
The diseases such as squamous cell carcinoma, sarcoma and adenocarcinoma can be caused.Chromic waste water, refuse can not at nature natural degradation as cyanide, it
Biological and accumulated in creatures, it is possible to cause the harm of chronicity, is the extremely strong strong carcinogen of a kind of toxicity, is also serious corrosive medium and weight

Soil and atmospheric environment, in the annual expense for administering electroplating wastewater, 60% is above for processing chromyl waste water, waste gas and refuse, and six
Valency chromium electroplates the Environmental Pollution Loss caused, and waste water processing cost and personnel's occupational disease are saved your breath also more than tens billion of RMB.
In order to replace the Cr VI chromium plating of severe contamination, people have carried out much research, including low concentration chromium plating, nickel-base alloy coating and trivalent chromium electricity
The researchs such as plating, wherein active with trivalent chromium plating and be hopeful most.
The chromium coating white color that trivalent chromium chrome plating obtains is bright, and hardness is the highest and good mechanical performance, and its dispersive property and covering power are the most far away
Higher than Cr VI, in the case of same electric current density, its deposition velocity is the twice of Cr VI chromium plating, and current efficiency is also above Cr VI.But,
The topmost advantage of trivalent chromium chrome plating is that its toxicity only has chromic 1/100th, the content of trivalent chromic ion in general trivalent chromium chrome plating solution
Only 1/7th of hexavalent chromium even less in Cr VI chromium plating tank liquor, and waste water is easily handled, it is a kind of to replace being widely used but serious
Pollute one of the most promising electroplating technology of Cr VI chromium plating of environment.But, trivalent chromium plating there is also some problems, mainly due to
Its impurity tolerance is the lowest, such as when the metal ion such as zinc, copper and mickel cumulative concentration in trivalent chromium coating bath reaches 10～100ppm, and chromium plating
Layer quality will decline, thus cause its stability bad, it is difficult to puts into production application.The hexavalent chromium produced at anode also can be serious
Affect the quality of coating, so that qualified product cannot be produced completely.The trivalent chromium bath sold on open market, it is impossible to plating thick chromium layer, at tank liquor
The aspect such as stable and maintenance there is bigger problem.Various aspects of performance can substitute the trivalent chromium plating Technology of hexavalent chromium plating also not to be had
