Determination of Nickel in Gold Flash baths
The determination of nickel concentration in Gold Flash baths is essential to guarantee the purity of the gold deposit and prevent contamination that could alter the shade, adhesion or aesthetic and functional quality of the thin layer. Analytical techniques such as atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) or complexometric titration allow accurate monitoring, but the complexity of these methods may require sending samples to external laboratories, extending quality control and decision-making times on the process. With CDR GalvanLab® it is possible to perform a quantitative analysis of nickel with a simple photometric method, optimizing monitoring, reducing delays and improving production efficiency.
Test principle
Nickel content is determined by its reaction with a chromogen that develops a coloration, the optical intensity of which is proportional to the concentration of Ni in the analyzed sample.
Calibration curve
The calibration curve was obtained by correlating the CDR method with the reference method.
