Determination of Saccharin Concentration in Nickel baths
Analysis of saccharin makes it possible to determine its concentration within the nickel plating bath, contributing to the control of the electroplating process. Monitoring of this additive is essential to ensure that the nickel deposit exhibits the desired characteristics, such as a smooth and bright finish, meeting the required quality standards. In addition, proper management of saccharin allows optimization of additive consumption, improving process efficiency and reducing waste, resulting in both economic and environmental benefits.
Test Principle
The sample is dissolved in an appropriate solvent that allows absorbance measurement at a fixed wavelength; the optical intensity is proportional to the saccharin concentration in the nickel bath sample analyzed.
Calibration curve
The calibration curve was obtained by correlating the CDR method with the reference method. The trend of the curve confirms excellent linearity of the system over the entire measurement range.
