Abstract

Baths contg. chromic acid and employed for the chemical roughening of plastics are regenerated by electrochemical oxidn. Regeneration is esp. by immersing two insol. electrodes in the bath and supplying direct current, esp.using 0.1-20 volts d.c. and 100-200 Ah/litre of the bath. Used e.g. for the roughening of epoxy resin boards used for printed circuits, where the roughening provides adequate adhesion for the printed metal circuit. Process re-oxidises the Cr2O3 and also converts plastic residues in the bath to gases which are evolved at the anode. The bath life is thus unlimited apart from replenishment and the pollution problems involved with the disposal of solns. contg. Cr are avoided.

Description

Verfahren zur Repenerierung von chromsaurehaltigenr chemischenProcess for the regeneration of chemicals containing chromic acid

Aufrauhbädern für Kunststoffe Zusammenfassung Es wird ein Verfahren vorgeschlagen zur Regenerierung von chromsäurehältigen, chemischen Aufrauhbädern für Kunststoffe. Die Regenerierung erfolgt durch Oxidation auf elektrochemischem Wege, indem in das Aufrauhbad zwei unlösliche Elektroden getaucht werden und mittels dieser Elektroden ein Gleichstrom durch das Bad hindurchgeleitet wird.Plastics Roughening Baths Summary There will be a process suggested for the regeneration of chemical roughening baths containing chromic acid for plastics. The regeneration takes place by oxidation on electrochemical Ways in which two insoluble electrodes are immersed in the roughening bath and by means of A direct current is passed through the bath through these electrodes.

Stand der Technik Chromsäurehaltige Aufrauhbäder für Kunststoffe sind seit langem bekannt und haben sich in der Praxis sehr gut bewährt. In diesen Aufrauhbädern wird durch Chromsäure oxidierbarer Kunststoff gelöst, wobei das sechswertige Chrom zu dreiwertigem Chrom reduziert wird. Das sechswertige Chrom wird also verbrsucht, der Verbrauch wird laufend analytisch ermittelt und ersetzt. In den Bädern reichert sich so dreiwertiges Chrom sowie gelöster Kunststoff als Ballaststoff an. Die Dichte der Bäder steigt, die Viskosität erhöht sich und die Farbe geht von ursprünglich braunrot in schwarz über. Mit dem Ansteigen dieser Ballaststoffe geht, trotz genügendem ChromrVI-Gehalt, die Oxidierbarkeit der Kunststoffe zurück. Wenn dieser Zustand erreicht ist, werden die Bäder bisher, nach entsprechender Vorschrift für die Entgiftung, verworfen.State of the art Chromic acid-containing roughening baths for plastics are known for a long time and have proven themselves very well in practice. In these roughening baths is dissolved by chromic acid oxidizable plastic, the hexavalent chromium is reduced to trivalent chromium. The hexavalent chromium is used up, the consumption is continuously determined analytically and replaced. Enriches in the bathrooms trivalent chromium and dissolved plastic are used as dietary fiber. The concentration the baths increases, the viscosity increases and the color goes from originally brown-red to black over. With the increase in this fiber The oxidisability of the plastics decreases despite sufficient Chromium VI content. When this state is reached, the baths are up to now, according to the appropriate regulations for detox, discarded.

Vorteile der Erfindung Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, daß die gelösten Kunststoffe aus dem Aufrauhbad entfernt und gleichzeitig das dreiwertige Chrom wieder zu sechswertigem Chrom oxidiert wird. Ein solches Bad hat praktisch eine unbegrenzte Lebensdauer, es brauchen lediglich die Verschleppungsverluste ersetzt zu werden, ein Verwerfen mit den Folgekosten für Entgiftung, Ausfällung und Sondermülldeponie entfallen.Advantages of the invention The method according to the invention with the characterizing Features of the main claim has the advantage that the dissolved plastics removed from the roughening bath and at the same time the trivalent chrome back to hexavalent Chromium is oxidized. Such a bath has a practically unlimited lifespan, only the carry-over losses need to be replaced, discarding with the follow-up costs for detoxification, precipitation and landfill for hazardous waste are eliminated.

Durch die in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des im Hauptanspruch angegebenen Verfahrens möglich. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn man zur Regenerierung des Bades 100 bis 200 Ampèrestunden pro Liter Bad durchsetzt. Die an die Elektroden angelegte Gleichspannung liegt zwischen 0,1 und 20 Volt bei einer Stromdichte von 0>1 bis 50 A/dm2.The measures listed in the subclaims are advantageous Further developments of the method specified in the main claim are possible. Particularly beneficial it is when you use 100 to 200 ampere hours per liter to regenerate the bath Bathroom interspersed. The DC voltage applied to the electrodes is between 0.1 and 20 volts at a current density of 0> 1 to 50 A / dm2.

Die elektrochemische Oxidation von dreiwertigem Chrom zu sechswertigem Chrom ist an sich bekannt. Überraschend ist jedoch, daß gleichzeitig mit dieser Oxidation auch die in dem Bad gelösten oder suspendierten Kunststoffreste oxidativ an der Anode in den gasförmigen Zustand über führt und so aus dem Bad entfernt werden. An der Kathode bildet sich Wasserstoff. Ein nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren behandeltes Aufrauhbad verliert seine schwarze Farbe und bekommt wieder die brawi-rote Farbe des Neuansatzes. Auch die Viskosität entspricht wieder derjenigen eines Neuansatzes entsprechender Konzentration. Die sich an der Anode in Bezug auf die Entfernung der Kunststoffreste sich ab spielenden elektrochemischen Reaktionen, die zu der vollständigen Regenerierung der Aufrauhbäder führen, sind noch nicht geklärt.The electrochemical oxidation of trivalent chromium to hexavalent Chromium is known per se. What is surprising, however, is that at the same time as this Oxidation also oxidative the plastic residues dissolved or suspended in the bath leads to the gaseous state at the anode and thus removed from the bath. Hydrogen forms at the cathode. One according to the method according to the invention treated roughening bath loses its black color and gets the brawi red again Color of the new approach. The viscosity again corresponds to that of a new batch appropriate concentration. Located on the anode in terms of distance the plastic residues from playing electrochemical reactions that lead to the complete regeneration of the roughening baths have not yet been clarified.

Beschreibung der Erfindung Das folgende Beispiel soll die Erfindung näher erläutern. Ein Aufrauhbad, das seit längerer Zeit im Einsatz ist, schwarz aussieht und schon ziemlich dickflüssig ist, zeigte einen Chrom-VI-Gehalt von 806 g/l, berechnet als CrO3 und einen Chrom-III-Gehalt von 48 g/l, berechnet als Cr203 . In dieses Bad wurden zwei stabföririge, in dem Bad unlösliche Elektroden aus mit Platindraht kontaktiertem Titan eingetaucht und an diese Elektroden eine Spannung von 4 Volt angelegt, wobei sich eine Stromstärke von 10 Ampere ergab. Nach einem Durchsatz von 140 Ah pro Liter war die Lösung wieder klar, die Farbe hatte sich nach braunrot geändert und die Viskosität entsprach der eines Neuansatzes. Der Chrom-III-Cehalt war auf Null zurückgegangen, während der Chrom-VI-Gehalt auf 869 gll angestiegen war. Anode und Kathode zeigten keinerlei Veränderungen. Während die Kunststoffe, z.B. eine Basisplatte für .gedruckte Schaltungen aus Epoxidharz, in dem Aufrauhbad vor der Regenerierung keine ausreichende Aufrauhung mehr ergab, was sich in einer nicht ausreichenden Haftfestigkeit von später aufgebrachten Metallschichten zeigt, entsprach die Aufrauhung der Kunststoffe in dem regenerierten Bad derjenigen eines neuangesetzten Aufrauhbades. Description of the Invention The following example is intended to illustrate the invention explain in more detail. A roughening bath that has been in use for a long time, black looks and is already quite thick, showed a chromium VI content of 806 g / l, calculated as CrO3 and a chromium III content of 48 g / l, calculated as Cr203 . Two rod-shaped electrodes insoluble in the bath were placed in this bath Platinum wire contacted titanium immersed and applied a voltage to these electrodes of 4 volts, resulting in a current of 10 amps. After a Throughput of 140 Ah per liter, the solution was clear again, the color had turned changed to brownish red and the viscosity corresponded to that of a new batch. The chromium III content had decreased to zero, while the chromium VI content increased to 869 gll was. The anode and cathode showed no changes. While the plastics, e.g. a base plate for printed circuits made of epoxy resin in the roughening bath Before the regeneration, there was no longer sufficient roughening, which resulted in a shows insufficient adhesive strength of later applied metal layers, the roughening of the plastics in the regenerated bath corresponded to that of one newly set roughening bath.
