Research Equipment Grant: Novel Plasma Assisted Vapor Deposition

氰化物镀液中的镉电镀是一个重大的环境问题。此外，镉涂层的副产品在使用和处置过程中会释放出环境中的有毒物质。因此，一种独特的、环境和职业安全的干镀概念已经被开发出来。干镀概念采用了一种新的等离子体辅助气相沉积工艺和镉的就地回收技术。这种干法电镀在涂装和废物管理方面是经济的。

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.
