One way to achieve such improvements is by doping of aluminum oxide with properly selected impurities. These could be introduced by implantation into aluminum and subsequent transfer into the oxide during anodization.331 Alternatively, complex anions containing impurity atoms could be introduced into the anodizing bath [see Section IV(2)]. The incorporated anions influence the dielectric permittivity, E, of the oxide.176 Hence, one can manipulate the E value by changing the electrolyte concentration and anodization regime.91 According to the published data, rare-earth-doped...

Fig. 5.39 Variation of photocurrent density (in IM KOH solution) vs. measured potential vs. Ag/AgCl for lOV samples anodized at four anodization bath temperatures, 5, 25, 35 and 50°C. The samples were measured under 320-400nm lOOmW/cm illumination.

It should be mentioned also that an interesting opportunity is that the dopant introduction can occurs also via modification of the anodization bath, e.g. during the preparation of the Ti02 nanostructured film itself. ... 

Hexavalent chromium is used in anodizing baths, and in pickling solutions that remove oxide layers from parts. The chromic acid in these solutions eventually enters the waste stream, either through dragout, or when the pickling or anodizing bath is disposed of. Less... 

The example shown in Fig. 39 illustrates the treatment of an aluminum anodizing bath waste stream by Donnan dialysis. Sulfate ions and protons freely permeate from a feed stream of aluminum sulfate and sulfuric acid across...

Two anodizing surface pretreatments imposed after the acid etching of aluminum have proved to be the best surface for obtaining longest-durability aluminum joints. The pretreatments are referred to based on the type of acid predominant in the respective anodizing baths,... 

Many acidic solutions can be used for anodizing aluminum, but sulfuric acid solutions are surely the most common. Chromic, oxalic, and phosphoric acids are also used relatively often for specific applications [28]. The "standard" sulfuric acid anodizing bath (Type 11) produces the best oxides for coloring. The solution consists of approximately 15 percent sulfuric acid and the anodizing bath is maintained at 20°C. As the anodizing temperature is increased, the oxide becomes more porous and improves in its ability to absorb color however, it also loses its hardness and its luster, due to the dissolution action of the acid on the oxide surface.
