Abstract

Electrochemical parameters of Cr2 (SO4)3 on Pb and Pb-PbO2 electrode in 1.0 mol/L H2SO4 were measured by cyclic voltammetry, respectively. Dual-chamber diaphragm cell, with Pb-PbO2 electrode as the anode, was used to electrochemical oxidation. The optimum conditions of electro-oxidation process were listed as following: 5% H2SO4 as cathode liquid, 5 A/dm2 anode current density, 7.5 h constant current electrolysis. The conversion of Cr3+ was 25.97%, and current efficiency was 68.45%. After being treated, the content of Cr6+ in ageing liquid was recovered to the effective range. The effect of colored stainless steels treated in the regenerated liquid was consistent with those treated in freshly prepared coloring liquid.

Key words
