L. Lux et al., MODELING OF THE INFLUENCE OF BOTH SUSPENSION DENSITY AND PARTICLE-SIZE UPON THE ELECTROCHEMICAL PROCESS OF POWDERS COATING, Chemicke listy, 91(9), 1997, pp. 786-787
Theoretical calculations of the amount of Ni coating on Fe powder part
icles is based on the assumption of distribution of charge between the
surface of the solid cathode and that of powder particles present in
the working volume of the electrolyte. The course of theoretical and e
xperimental curves is identical. The efficiency of the process on part
icles is however rather low due to the inhibition of the coating by th
e hydroxocomplexes formed during electrolysis.
