• What are possible contaminates of the plating solution?**

    * Chloride- Typical levels are less than 200 ppm. The system is designed to rinse the chloride out before it gets to the EW cell.

    * Ammonium Ion- Typical levels are less than 10 g/l. The system is designed to rinse the ammonia out before it gets to the EW cell. Whatever amount does get into the electrolyte is removed by a bleed stream.

    ** The most important parameters in running the EW cell are maintaining the acid level and the copper level within the prescribed range.
