Research Equipment Grant: Novel Plasma Assisted Vapor Deposition

氰化物镀镉具有重要意义 环境问题。 此外，镉的副产物 涂料在使用过程中会向环境中释放有毒物质， 使用和处置。 因此，一个独特的，环境和 开发了职业安全的干式电镀概念。 干镀概念利用了一种新的等离子体辅助蒸汽 镉的沉积工艺和原位回收技术。 这种干式电镀对于涂层和废物管理是经济的。

Cadmium electroplating in cyanide baths is of significant environmental concern. In addition, by-products of cadmium coatings release toxic substances in the environment during their use and disposal. As a consequence, a unique, environmentally and occupationally safe dry plating concept has been developed. The dry plating concept utilizes a novel plasma assisted vapor deposition process and an in situ reclaim technique for cadmium. This dry plating is economical for coating and waste management.
