In its second of three videos on Hull Cell Testing, Asterion reviews the interpretation of the results of a variety of plating baths.

 

Patented in 1939, by R.O. Hull, the hull cell is one of the most useful qualitative test processes available to the metal finisher. It consists of a trapezoidal box which contains an anode of the material to be processed, a hull cell panel which is inserted against the sloping side of the trapezoid. A standard 267 ml hull cell is most commonly encountered.

    The NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board has selected a project on addressing the problem of PFAS and related chemicals in plating wastewater streams, studying PFAS destruction via electrooxidation and electrocoagulation.  This sixth quarter report covers the continued assessment of eight perfluoroalkyl acids PFAAs most commonly found in wastewaters, by electro-oxidation with a Magnéli phase Ti4O7 anode across a range of anodic potentials in solutions, exploring the reaction mechanisms.  To summarize, the PFAAs start to exhibit degradation behavior when the anodic potential reaches a level where water oxidation occurs, suggesting that the hydroxyl free radicals generated via water oxidation play a role in PFAA degradation.
