Abstract
The aluminum electrodeposition kinetics is studied in solutions of aluminum bromide in such aromatic solvents as benzene, toluene, p-xylene, and ethylbenzene. The effect of the aluminum bromide concentration on the rate of aluminum electrodeposition from a xylene electrolyte is investigated. A failed aluminum-plating electrolyte can be restored to full working capacity by treating it with an alkyl halide. This capability to restore the covering power of aluminum-plating electrolytes decreases in the series CH3Cl > C2H5Br > n-С3H7Br > n-C4H9Br. The temperature dependence of the rate of cathodic aluminum deposition is determined. The calculated effective activation energy for aluminum electrodeposition from a xylene–durene electrolyte is 44.5–64.5 kJ mol–1.
