When a sulfur-containing additive such as thiourea is used as an electrolytic additive, some of the sulfur atoms contained are precipitated at the crystal grain boundaries of electrolytic copper, resulting in the effect of crystal refinement. However, as a trade-off, the sulfur content in electrolytic copper has become relatively high, around 10 pμm, and recently, in various uses of electrolytic copper,
In this industry, where there is a strong demand for electrolytic copper with a low sulfur content, it has become necessary to find electrolytic additives that do not contain sulfur in order to lower the sulfur grade below this level.
