Description

Method for stably controlling electroplating solution
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of surface treatment, and particularly relates to a method for stably controlling electroplating solution.
Background
The gravity electroplating is one of vertical electroplating processes, during electroplating, a plating tank is not filled with plating solution, the plating solution only exists between an anode box and strip steel, and the flow of the plating solution is accelerated by the gravity of the plating solution. For high-speed electrogalvanizing production, the stable control of the electroplating solution is a core link of the production; mainly comprises three aspects of stability, namely plating solution components (acid content and zinc ion concentration), temperature and volume. The stable plating solution control is a necessary condition for producing high-quality electroplating plates and is a key factor of the uniformity of the thickness distribution of the zinc layer, the crystal thickness of the zinc layer and the surface smoothness of products. Such as zinc sulfate concentration, temperature, etc., have great influence on the surface quality of the electrogalvanized layer. The production shows that: the apparent brightness of the plating layer is reduced by increasing the current density, increasing the pH value, reducing the temperature and increasing the zinc ion concentration; this is because the above conditions make it difficult to diffuse zinc ions, and this leads to problems such as coarse crystals of the plating layer. How to well control the stability of the parameters of the plating solution is very important.
According to the traditional plating solution production process, the defects of whitening, floating ash, darkness, thick crystallization of a plating layer and the like of a steel plate are always found in the production process of electrogalvanizing, so that a great deal of judgment is caused. The production adjustment finds that the defect is caused to be closely related to the fluctuation of the parameters of the plating solution. When plating solution parameters are abnormal, because the number of the adjustable means of the machine set is often more than one, the adjustment means selected by different operators has great difference, and the adjustment time and the risks are also greatly different. Such problems once plague steelworks for a long time, how to thoroughly solve the problem of rapidly obtaining a stably controlled electroplating solution, reduce the occurrence of structural defects and partial surface quality defects of the plating layer, and reduce the need for improvement is urgent.
The plating solution control system generally comprises four circulating systems, namely an electroplating circulating system, a zinc dissolving system, an evaporation system and a sulfuric acid circulating system; the components and functions contained therein include: 1) electroplating circulating system: the device comprises a rectifier, a filter, a plating solution circulating tank and a plating solution storage tank, and mainly has the function of ensuring the thickness of a plating layer on the surface of a steel plate; 2) a zinc dissolving system: a zinc dissolving station; the main function is to improve the concentration of zinc ions in the plating solution; 3) an evaporation system: controlling the temperature and evaporating; the main function is to maintain the temperature of the plating solution and stabilize the concentration of the plating solution; 4) a sulfuric acid circulating system: an acid adding device and a sulfuric acid circulating tank; the main function is to maintain the concentration and pH value of free acid in the plating solution.
When the plating solution is abnormal, the traditional method is to use a single adjustment method aiming at different problems, such as: when the concentration of zinc ions is lower or higher, adding zinc or adding water into the plating solution through a zinc dissolving system; adding acid or water into the plating solution through a sulfuric acid circulating system when the free acid is lower or higher; when the temperature is lower or higher, the heating or cooling is carried out through an evaporation system; if the liquid level and the pH value are lower or higher, water is added, acid is added or the water is discharged; the concentration of iron ions is higher, and the plating solution is discharged. Such a situation not only causes the plating solution parameters to fluctuate and be unstable for a long time, but also causes a large amount of waste of cost and brings a series of environmental protection treatment problems. Such problems once plague steelworks for a long time, how to thoroughly solve the problems of fast, precise and stable control of electroplating solution, reduce the occurrence of structural defects and partial surface quality defects of the plating layer, and reduce the possibility of improvement is urgent.

In order to realize the scheme, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a method for stably controlling a plating solution, comprising the steps of:
1) calculating the amount of water, sulfuric acid and zinc needed by a tank of plating solution by taking the designed formula of the plating solution as a target value;

3) titrating the plating solution, and adjusting components deviating from the target concentration in the plating solution;
4) determining control parameters of an electroplating process in the electroplating process, and performing linkage adjustment on the control parameters corresponding to an electroplating circulating system, a zinc dissolving system, an evaporation system and a sulfuric acid circulating system of an electroplating solution control system in the electroplating process; realize the stable control of the electroplating solution.
In the scheme, the mass of the zinc is equal to the effective volume of the electroplating solution circulating tank multiplied by the concentration of zinc ions; weight of sulfuric acid is equal to weight of zinc particles multiplied by H2SO4Relative molecular weight of (1)/(relative molecular weight of Zn. times. sulfuric acid utilization coefficient).

In the above scheme, the Zn2+The titration of the concentration step comprises: accurately transferring 1mL of electroplating solution into a 250mL conical flask, and supplementing 30mL of deionized water; 10ml of an ammonia buffer solution was added (the specific preparation procedure included adding 54g of NH4Adding water to Cl for dissolving, adding 400mL of ammonia water with the concentration of 25 wt% for mixing, adding water for diluting to 1000mL), shaking up, adding 2-3 drops of chrome black T indicator, and slowly titrating the sample with 0.1mol/L of EDTA standard solution until the color of the solution changes from red to blue-green; recording the volume of EDTA solution consumed (mL); calculating Zn according to formula I2+The concentration of (a):

in the formula: c is the quantity concentration of EDTA standard solution, mol/L; v1In terms of volume, mL, of EDTA standard solution consumed; v0The number of the sampling volume of the sample is mL; 65.38 is the molar mass of zinc, g/mol; the specific calculation formula is as follows:

Figure BDA0003351296060000033
by adopting the titration steps, the problems of inaccurate titration color development and the like in the traditional titration process can be effectively avoided; because there are many acid solutions in electroplating, such as: acid washing, electroplating, conducting roller cleaning, double-sided post-plating cleaning, single-sided post-plating cleaning and the like, and the titration of these acid solutions generally uses a bromocresol green-methyl red indicator; however, in the electroplating, the concentration of free acid in the plating solution is low, and the color development of the bromocresol green-methyl red indicator is found to be uneven, so that methyl orange-panoxa carmine is particularly selected as the indicator for accurate control.
In the above scheme, the (key) control parameters of the electroplating process include zinc ion concentration, sulfuric acid concentration, pH value, plating solution temperature, iron ion concentration and plating solution level, and the specific control conditions include: the temperature of the plating solution is 48-53 ℃; the concentration of zinc ions is 90-140 g/L; the concentration of sulfuric acid is 2-12 g/L; the pH value is 1.2-1.8; the concentration of iron ions is less than 3 g/L; the liquid level of the plating solution is 60-80%; preferred target values are: the temperature of the plating solution is 50 ℃; the concentration of zinc ions is 115 g/L; the concentration of sulfuric acid is 7 g/L; the pH value is 1.5; the concentration of iron ions is 0 g/L; the plating solution level is 70%.

wherein G is the amount of zinc plating (G/m)2) (ii) a I is the total galvanizing current (A); b is the width (m) of the strip steel; v is the strip steel speed (m/min); η is the current efficiency (in 95%).
In the scheme, the plating solution concentration, the pH value and the plating solution liquid level are controlled by linkage adjustment steps, including more than two of electroplating rate control, evaporation control, zinc dissolution control, acid addition control and liquid guide control between the plating solution and a storage tank (the traditional regulation and control process only considers the control of a certain system);
the specific adjustment measures are as follows:

If the unit is stopped, part of the plating solution in the circulating tank is directly pumped into the storage tank, and then the circulating tank is replenished with water to reduce the concentration of zinc ions.
Note 2: the plating solution is preferably drained, but if the storage tank has no liquid level, condensed water is added to replace the plating solution to increase the liquid level.
In the above adjustment measures, in the electroplating rate control, evaporation control, zinc dissolution control, acid addition control, and liquid guide control between the plating solution and the storage tank, the related parameter adjustment is regulated and controlled on the basis of the existing process parameter conditions corresponding to the specific plating solution working conditions.
