Extending Sulfuric Acid Anodizing Bath Life
The Waste Management and Research Center (WMRC) worked with All-Brite Anodizing, a small job shop anodizer located in Northlake, IL to achieve two goals. The first was to test the effectiveness of acid bath extender. The second was to determine if sulfuric acid used in the anodizing process could be cleansed sufficiently to continue using it without decanting portions to the wastewater pre-treatment system.
