Poison under control.
SLOTOLOY ZN „Generation VX“
The alkaline zinc-nickel processes SLOTOLOY ZN „Generation VX“ are operated with an anode (special anode VX 1)
specially adapted to the process and respective additives. Because of this, the formation of breakdown products and cyanide
on the anode is inhibited. The practical application at customers showed in converted electrolytes that even the cyanide
content is reduced actively.
Advantages of the zinc-nickel
processes „Generation VX”
· No cost-intensive membrane technology necessary.
· Improvement of current efficiency and appearance.
· Simple conversion of existing electrolytes.
· Low additive consumption.
· The formation of cyanide is significantly reduced and
may falls below the detection limit.
· Since there’s less non-active tetracyanonickelate there’s
a lower demand of nickel.
