Abstract

A direct method of analyzing brighteners and levelers used in metal electroplating baths. The method is based on the differential adsorption of these additives on a working electrode during a sequence of steps prior to and during metal plating. The sensitivity of the method allows for the determination of both brightener and leveler in the same sample without cyclic processing.
