Electrodeposition of Alloys Coatings fro

The significant rise in the use of electrical and electronic equipment has led to a corresponding increase in the production of waste batteries, which pose an environmental hazard due to their heavy metal content. This study aims to explore the feasibility of recovering precious metals from spent batteries through an innovative approach involving the electrodeposition of alloy coatings from electrolytic baths derived from these batteries. A systematic methodology was employed that included the preparation of electrolytic baths using recovered materials from exhausted batteries. The performance of the electrodeposition process was evaluated in terms of the quality of the coatings produced and their corrosion resistance properties. Results indicated that the coatings exhibited promising characteristics suitable for corrosion protection applications. Furthermore, the economic implications of such recovery processes were discussed, highlighting the potential to transform waste into valuable resources in a sustainable manner. This research underscores the importance of developing environmentally friendly techniques for managing electronic waste and contributes to the ongoing efforts in hydrometallurgical processing for metal recovery.
