The effect of the concentration of the reacting ion on the nature of the control of the electrodeposition process was investigated by digital simulation of the polarization curve using the Newman form of the polarization curve equation and the Levich dependence of the limiting diffusion current density under natural convection conditions. A simple method for the determination of the exchange current density from polarization measurements is also proposed. The agreement with experiments was correct.

Digital simulation was employed for the solution of the general polarization curve equation of metal deposition processes. By approximating the dependence of the exchange current density on concentration with a linear function for one- and two-electron transfer processes, an error lower than 20% was obtained.

The simulated shapes of the polarization curves were correlated with the type of metal electrodeposition process control in a function of the exchange current density to the limiting diffusion current density (j0/jL) ratios. Diagnostic criteria based on the j0/jL ratios were established. For j0/jL> 100, the system is under the ohmic control. In the range 1 < j0/jL ? 100 there is the mixed ohmic-diffusion control. The pure diffusion control appears in the range 0.1 < j0/jL ? 1. For j0/jL ? 0.1, the system is activation controlled at the low overpotentials. The proposed diagnostic criteria were verified by comparison of the simulated curves with experimentally recorded ones and by morphological analysis of deposits obtained in the different types of metal electrodeposition process control.

The effect of temperature on the electrodeposition of copper at overpotentials belonging to the plateau of the limiting diffusion current density and higher was examined by the determination of the average current efficiency of hydrogen evolution and by scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis of the morphology of the formed copper deposits. Increasing the temperature of the solution led to a shift of both the beginning and the end of the plateau of the limiting diffusion current density towards lower electrodeposition overpotentials. Also, higher temperatures led to the formation of morphological forms of copper deposits characteristic for electrodeposition of copper at some higher overpotentials. The unexpected trend in the development of copper structures electrodeposited at an overpotential of 800 mV is discussed in terms of the effect of temperature on the viscosity and surface tension of the electroplating solution.

Abstract Although Daphnia magna have been widely used in the determination of the toxicity of various substances, there are no reports in the literature that describe a rigorous bioassay method using this organism as a test species. The test described herein involves the standariza-tion of various important aspects of the method such as the age of the test organisms, and the dilution water used for the preparation of the various toxicant concentrations. Also described is a simple method for the statistical analysis of the results. The sensitivity of the proposed bioassay is demonstrated by determining the toxicity of various pulp and paper effluents. Finally, extensive bioassays were carried out simultaneously with rainbow trout and Daphnia magna indicating that Daphnia are as good a biological indicator of acute toxicity as fish.
