The efficiency and kinetics of the removal of copper and iron contamination from a chromic acid plating bath were evaluated using a proprietary electrodialytic purification unit with caustic catholyte. The unit consisted of an anode compartment and a cathode compartment separated by a cation-specific membrane. The proprietary electrodes in each compartment were connected to a constant amperage, variable voltage power supply. By design, multivalent metal cations were electrotransported through the ...
