Abstract

Electrolytes of alkaline zincate, acidified zinc sulphate, zinc-ammonia, zinc-ammonia-EDTA, zinc-EDTA/NaOH have been examined in order to verify their applicability for electrodeposition (ED) of zinc on stainless steel (SS) disc at ppm level. Operating parameters suitable for ED of zinc at 90% deposition (amount of zinc removed from plating solution) on SS disc using a total 1 ppm zinc in a 5 cm3 bath volume were determined. It helped to prepare radioactive source (65Zn) using inactive Zn as carrier. Speciation of zinc in a Zn-oxalate-EDTA-ammonia bath has been computed.
