Determining sulphate in aluminum anodize

1996

I am trying to determine the amount of sulphate contained in the anodic coating when anodizing aluminum in 12% sulfuric acid. Is sulfuric acid consumed in any other way in the anodizing solution?

I can not find any literature that will address this issue.

Thank you

Art Sanders

See our book section for some basic references on anodizing ~~and/or zip over to Anodizer's Plaza, a web site in Japan, written in English, and available under our WWW links~~. See my response to your topic #287 for two references.

The Canning Handbook [on eBay, Amazon, AbeBooks affil links] is another, the Garden State Electroplating Manual is another.
