The invention discloses an environment-friendly bright
pickling agent and a compounding method thereof. Raw materials of the environment-friendly bright
pickling agent consist of
phosphoric acid,
potassium peroxymonosulfate, persulfide, hydrosulfate, stabilizer, oxidant and water. The environment-friendly bright
pickling agent is characterized in that the pickling agent is a
phosphoric acid /
potassium peroxymonosulfate
system, the pickling agent is overall in a moderately strong acid environment, the optimum
working temperature is 25-37 DEG C, the
potassium peroxymonosulfate cooperates with the
phosphoric acid, the stabilizer,
superoxide and the like for playing a part in performing micro-
etching on
copper or
copper alloy, is small in
corrosion amount for a workpiece, uniform in washing speed, and stable and controllable, and has obvious
polishing and
levelling function for the
copper material, the obtained workpiece is high in
surface finish degree, and microscopic flatness of the surface of the workpiece after being washed is superior to washing effect of strong acid pickling solutions such as
sulfuric acid. Meanwhile, the environment-friendly bright pickling agent has protectionfunction for the surface of the workpiece after being pickled, and overcomes the discoloring problem of the surface of the copper in practical production. Furthermore, the phosphoric acid pickling agent
system is colorless and odorless, does not contain volatile substances, is simple in
wastewater treatment, and causes low
pollution to environment.
