Activated carbon is widely used in the purification of electroplating solutions due to its excellent adsorption properties. 

 

Organic impurities can often be found in electroplating solutions, which can affect the quality of the plating. Activated carbon is used to adsorb these organic impurities, effectively purifying the solution.

 

Over time, electroplating solutions can lose their brightness due to the accumulation of organic contaminants. Activated carbon can restore the brightness of these solutions by removing these contaminants.

 

By removing impurities, activated carbon can help to prolong the life of electroplating solutions, reducing waste and potentially saving costs.

 

The removal of impurities from electroplating solutions can improve the quality of the plating, resulting in a smoother and more uniform finish.

 

The process typically involves passing the electroplating solution through a bed of activated carbon, which adsorbs the organic impurities. The purified solution is then returned to the electroplating bath. This can be done continuously or as a batch process, depending on the specific requirements of the operation.
