ドとして用いる、銅−亜鉛系合金アノードの再生方法に
関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method for regenerating a copper-zinc alloy anode used as an anode in electroplating of a copper-zinc alloy.
(従来の技術)

してCu CN % Z n(CN)t 、NaCN、
KCNなどからなる浴を用いる電気メツキ法である。(Prior Art) Copper-zinc alloy plating has been widely used for decoration of copper alloys and for preparing the base for nickel plating and cobalt plating. This copper-zinc alloy plating uses a copper-zinc alloy as an anode and a plating bath of CuCN%Zn(CN)t, NaCN,
This is an electroplating method that uses a bath made of KCN or the like.

洛中の金属イオンと錯体をつくって金属イオンの活量を
減少させ、析出合金の組成を安定させる効果がある。Cyanide (CN-) used in this plating bath has the effect of forming a complex with the metal ions in the plating bath, reducing the activity of the metal ions, and stabilizing the composition of the precipitated alloy.

! Changes to COs. Similar products also result from the decomposition of CN- during electroplating. These carbonates dissolve in the bath to some extent, so they do not affect operation in the short term, but in the long term they become supersaturated, and the precipitated carbonates adhere to the anode surface and coat it. Sometimes I put it away. When the anode surface is covered with carbonate in this way, ionization of the copper-zinc alloy is hindered, making plating difficult.

じる。Conventionally, in such cases, carbonate adhering to the anode surface is scraped off by mechanical operation in a plating bath to regenerate the anode. However, this operation is very complicated and it is difficult to completely remove carbonates. In addition, there is also the problem that the scraped carbonate may be mixed into the mesh again.
本発明は、上記問題点を解決し、アノード表面を覆った
アルカリ金属の炭酸塩を、簡単に、かつ短時間で除去し
、アノードの再使用を可能にする、銅−亜鉛系合金アノ
ードの再生方法を提供することを目的とする。The present invention solves the above problems and allows the regeneration of copper-zinc alloy anodes by easily and quickly removing alkali metal carbonates covering the anode surface and making it possible to reuse the anode. The purpose is to provide a method.

る。(Means and effects for solving the problem) The method for regenerating a copper-zinc alloy anode of the present invention involves treating a copper-zinc alloy anode whose surface is covered with an alkali metal carbonate with an aqueous cyanide solution. This method involves rinsing with water if necessary.
銅−亜鉛系合金アノード(以下「アノード」という)を
シアン化物水溶液で処理する方法は、アノードとシアン
化物水溶液とを充分に接触させることができる方法であ
れば特に制限されるものではない。The method of treating a copper-zinc alloy anode (hereinafter referred to as "anode") with an aqueous cyanide solution is not particularly limited as long as the anode and the aqueous cyanide solution can be brought into sufficient contact.
この処理方法としては、例えば、シアン化物水溶液中に

流れの中に該アノードを浸漬する方法又はこれらと機械

などを組み合わせた方法などを適用することができる。This treatment method includes, for example, immersing an anode whose surface is covered with an alkali metal carbonate in a cyanide aqueous solution, or immersing the anode in the flow of a cyanide aqueous solution while circulating it. Alternatively, a method combining these with physical means such as mechanical stirring or ultrasonic stirring, or heating operation can be applied.
ここで用いるシアン化物水溶液は特に制限されるもので
はないが、メツキ浴を構成するシアン化物の水溶液を用
いれば処理後の水洗が不要となるために好ましい。この
シアン化物水溶液中のシアン化物の濃度は、1重量%以
上であることが好ましい。The aqueous cyanide solution used here is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use an aqueous cyanide solution constituting the plating bath because washing with water after treatment is not necessary. The concentration of cyanide in this aqueous cyanide solution is preferably 1% by weight or more.
シアン化物水溶液による処理後に行う水洗は、メツキ浴
を構成するシアン化物と異なるシアン化物の水溶液を用
いた場合にのみ行う。Washing with water after treatment with an aqueous cyanide solution is performed only when an aqueous solution of a cyanide different from the cyanide constituting the plating bath is used.
以上の操作により、アノード表面を覆ったアルカリ金属

炭酸塩が溶解していないシアン化物水溶液とアノードを
接触させれば、アノード表面に付着している炭酸塩はシ
アン化物水溶液に溶解し、除去される。By the above operation, the alkali metal carbonate covering the anode surface can be easily removed, and this is due to the following mechanism of action. When electroplating of copper-zinc alloys is continued for a long period of time, the alkali metal carbonates produced in the plating bath become supersaturated and cannot be dissolved in the plating bath, precipitating and adhering to the anode surface. . Therefore, if the anode is brought into contact with an aqueous cyanide solution in which the carbonate is not dissolved, the carbonate adhering to the anode surface will be dissolved in the aqueous cyanide solution and removed.
