Description/Abstract:
AM IS ELECTRODEPOSITED AS AM (III) HYDROXIDE FROM A FORMIC ACID - AMMONIUM FORMATE SOLUTION AT SS, PT AND CU CATHODES. THE CATHODE REGION IS MADE BASIC BY THE REDUCTION OF H+. THE FORMATION OF H + WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE ACCOMPANY THE ANODE REACTION IS PREVENTED BY PRESENCE OF FORMATE WHICH IS OXIDIZED AT ANODE. THE ELECTRODEPOSITION OF 0.01 TO 5.32 UG AM HAS BEEN MADE WITH > 95% YIELDS
