Abstract
Excess fluoride ions in zinc electrolyte are known to cause problems with the removal of electrowon zinc from aluminum blanks. The mechanisms responsible for this undesirable adherence were studied. Acid zinc sulfate electrolyte similar to that employed in zinc electrowinning was used. Using electrolyte containing various fluoride ion concentrations, the initial nucleation and growth morphology of zinc and the aluminum electrode surface were examined using scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical tests were also carried out in various solutions to obtain a better understanding of the polarization behavior of the system. © 1992.
