Zinc plating is the most common coating, with ammonium chloride -based solvent commonly used as the plating electrolytes.

Key Points: 
  • Zinc plating is the most common coating, with ammonium chloride -based solvent commonly used as the plating electrolytes.
  • The high concentration of zinc ions with chromophore properties in the spent electrolytes of zinc plating indicates the possibility of their use for the production of pigments.
  • The scientists from the Belarusian State Technological University, NUST MISIS and Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of National Academy of Sciences of Belarus have developed a new method for synthesizing high-quality white pigments from spent zinc plating electrolytes.
  • The production of pigments from spent zinc plating electrolytes would not only provide industries with a new source of high-quality pigments but is also a possible solution for toxic galvanic waste management, the researchers say.
