¡ñ¡¡Fill up two-third of the preparatory tank with water, and heat it up to 40-50¡£C£» the chloride ion content in the water shall be lower than  70mg/l. Add  necessary cupric sulphate, and mix it up until completely dissolved. 
¡ñ¡¡Add some active carbon at the ratio of 2g/l and mix them up for over one hour, then filter the solution into a clean tank£» add water to the approximate water level. 
¡ñ¡¡Add necessary bright vitriol and mix them up strongly to keep the solution temperature below 60¡£C.
¡ñ¡¡Cool the solution to 25¡£C£» according to the
chloride ion content in the solution, add hydrochloric acid or sodium chloride correspondently to increase the chloride ion content.
¡ñ¡¡Add the above additives and apply electrolysis
with 0.5A/dm2 current for about 2 hours, then begin the plating.
 
¡ñ¡¡Tank£º¡¡¡¡PVC-lined steel tank or other plastic-lined steel tanks, or plastic tank
¡ñ¡¡Cooling apparatus£º under too high temperature, the brightener consumption will be increased and the LCD brightness will be lowed down, when proper cooling apparatuses are necessary.
¡ñ¡¡Circulating filtration£º the sestons in the solution, such as dust, grease, etc., will lead to rough layer, pinhole or low brightness£» it is advisable to apply continuous circulating filtration, when the filtration pump can filter the solution for min. four times within one hour. 


Opening agent HN-310£º¡¡¡¡¡¡the shortage of it will  lead to a loose striated layer in the high/ medium current area£» the over capacity of it will lead to a nepheloid layer in the LCD.
Brightener HN-310A£º¡¡¡¡¡¡ the shortage of it will  lead to a lower layer leveling in the whole current density area£» the over capacity of it will lead to a sudden leveling weakness in the LCD as a well-marked demarvation.
Brightener HN-310B£º¡¡¡¡¡¡the shortage of it will  lead to the burning of the layer£» the over capacity of it will lead to serious fogging in the current area.
The function and influence of
chloride ion£º the chloride ion plays a very important role in the bright acid copper plating.  Sufficient chloride ion helps the additive in the plating of compact, bright and smooth layer.  The over capacity of it will result in a marked falling of the layer brightness and leveling, and a hoary film on the anode surface to lead to inactivation.  


¡ñ¡¡When the solution problem cannot be solved with none of the above additives, please check the chloride ion content£¡
