Plant extracts as effective additives in zinc electroplating on mild steel
This investigation examines and reviews the electroplating of zinc on mild steel in acid chloride solutions (ZnCl, KCl and H3BO4). Extract concentrations of Nicotiana tobaccum, Ananas comosus, Saccharum officinarum and Allium cepa were used as additives. Experimental factors employed include variation in plating time, extract additive concentrations and fixed pH conditions. A DC power supply at...
