The Complete Book on Electroplating & Allied Chemicals

Electroplating is a process that uses electrical current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a coherent metal coating on an electrode. Electroplating is both an art and science. The purpose of this book is to enrich the people with an understanding of the theoretical background to Electroplating and Allied Chemicals, which is essential if the practical results are to be as required. The major contents of this book are Silver – Gold- Copper – Complex salts of copper, silver and gold – Magnesium – Chromium – Platinum group of metals – Nickel – Zinc – Lead – Aluminium – Mercury – Cobalt – Sodium – Sodium chloride – Soda ash – Sodium Sulfate – Glauber salt – Hydrochloric Acid – Sodium silicate – Sodium sulfides – Sodium thiosulfate – Sodium bisulfate, anhydrous – Sodium hyposulfite – Liquid chlorine – Hydrides of boron – Silicon – Sulfuric acid – Nitric acid – Ammonium nitrate – Hydrazine – Hydrogen cyanide – Melamine – Amines – Aniline – Isocyanates – Phosphorus – Tin – Ferroalloys – Manganese – Antimony –Bismuth – Cadmium – Cerium – Phosphoric acid – Indium – Tungsten – Vanadium – Niobium and tantalum – Molybdenum –Titanium. It also describes different methods of Magnesium extraction, Treating low grade ores, and methods of preparation of Hydrides. This book contains different process flow diagrams. It is an excellent reference for engineers, researchers, practitioners, entrepreneurs and others involved in process.
