摘要
The influence of selenium impurities on copper deposition at 65 degrees C in industrial sulfuric acid electrolyte (standard) was investigated using electrochemical noise analysis and cyclic voltammetry in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results were compared with those obtained with synthetic electrolyte containing thiourea and gelatin additives. The presence of selenium ions in the standard electrolyte and the electrolyte containing additives resulted in a spongy and porous copper deposit covered by a non-adherent black powder of copper-selenium compounds. The measured statistical parameters of skewness and kurtosis of the EN signals correlated well with the presence of the spongy morphology on the cathode surface. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
