DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for electrolytically dissolving metallic nickel, and more particularly to a method for improving the nickel concentration in a nickel plating solution by electrolytically dissolving metallic nickel.

[Prior Art] Nickel plating or nickel alloy plating is used in various industrial platings, and the bath composition thereof is ``for example, an acid concentration of 5 to 30 g/l, such as sulfuric acid.

The nickel concentration is 30-80 g/l and the pH is 0.5-2.0. Naturally, as the plating bath is used, the nickel is consumed and the nickel content decreases, so
Nickel must be replenished by some method to maintain the nickel concentration in the bath at the desired level.

It is conceivable to replenish the nickel plating bath with nickel by dipping the metal nickel directly into the bath and dissolving it, but this is not practical because the acid concentration in the bath is relatively low and the dissolution rate is slow. Increasing the acid concentration in Rakuchu is also not practical due to the difficulty of adjusting the acid concentration afterwards.

メツキ浴の酸濃度を所定レベルに維持したままニッケル

Adding nickel to the plating bath in the form of nickel carbonate has also been proposed as a method of replenishing nickel while maintaining the acid concentration of the plating bath at a predetermined level.

Furthermore, as another means of replenishing nickel without changing the acid concentration of the plating bath, a method of dissolving metallic nickel in the bath by electrolytic dissolution is also considered.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the former method has drawbacks such as not only nickel carbonate being more expensive than metal nickel, but also the acquisition route being limited and the amount constantly in stock increasing. In addition, in the latter method, some of the nickel in the anode becomes passivated, so
This method has also not been put into practical use yet.

In the present invention, a liquid taken out from a plating bath of a nickel alloy of nickel and zinc is supplied to an electrolytic cell in which a cathode is used and the metal nickel to be dissolved is used as an anode. At this time, the metal nickel of the anode needs to contain zinc in order to prevent passivation as an anode, and the zinc content is preferably 0.003 to 80% by weight, preferably 0.4% by weight.
~50% by weight. Excessively low zinc content is not preferred because the dissolution rate of nickel cannot be increased. Metallic nickel is in the form of particles, plates, or powder, which makes it easy to dissolve.It is appropriate to use this in a basket made of a corrosion-resistant metal such as titanium.From the nickel plating bath The taken out liquid is preferably placed between the anode and the cathode of the electrolytic cell at a rate of 10 to 40 cm/sec.

In the electrolytic cell, the anode and cathode can be partitioned by a diaphragm, if necessary. As the diaphragm, an anion exchange membrane can preferably be used in order to prevent permeation of nickel ions.
