Asterion Video Demonstrates Hull Cell Analysis

A newly-produced video from Asterion in Indianapolis, Indiana shows platers how to run a hull cell, which is a testing tool in which an electroplating solution is evaluated across the range of operating conditions.

The video shows that an evaluation of the deposit on the cathode across a range of current densities is useful in demonstrating the capabilities of a plating bath solution:

Here's the video:

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 12th Quarterly Report

This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers the 12th quarter of project work (October – December 2023) at the University of Georgia. In our previous report, we described our work on performance and effect of surface fluorinated Ti4O7 anodes on PFAS degradation in reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) mode. This quarter, our experiments involved utilizing porous Ti4O7 plates serving both as anodes and membranes. Tests compared pristine and F-18.6 Ti4O7 anodes at current densities of 10 mA/cm2 and 40 mA/cm2. This 12th quarterly report discusses the mechanisms of the effects on EO performance by anode surface fluorination.
