I'm not talking about Chemistry.com here either ..lol Ok .. using muriatic acid .. with the hydrochloric acid in it mixed with peroxide. I looked a chemelec's website where he uses sulfuric acid and electrodes to remove over 90% of the copper, then finishes the board off in ferric chloride. So .. I thought if should work with other acids .. I put a electrode in on the negative lead and a scrape piece of board on the positive lead, started cranking up the voltage .. and it did indeed start drawing current and bubbling .. no ventilation so I shut it off right away .. The questions are : He mentioned gases from the electro-etch process, which makes sense as there are bubbles .. which are toxic .. I assume the gases from his acid would be different then the gases from mine. Chemistry majors ?? What is the gas being released from my H2O2 and HCL LOL Some kind of a hydrogen chloride gas ?? sounds toxic and flammable .. lol I was thinking I would make a setup to use my solution, aearate the tank and use some electro-etching, if that what it is , to help the process along ... Sound ok ? Would there be problems with that ? thanks all Randy - N2CUA
