High Purity Crystallization Thiourea 99% Anhydrous Electroplating First Choice

The uses of thiourea

1. Electroplating field

The absence of moisture reduces the decomposition of the electrolyte and extends the service life of the plating solution by more than 30%
Case: After a certain PCB enterprise used it, the porosity of the gold plating layer decreased to 5 per square centimeter
2. Pharmaceutical synthesis

Avoiding side reactions in an anhydrous environment and increasing the yield of intermediates (measured +12%)
Provide a DMF residue detection report (< 10ppm)
3. Research purposes

Ultra-low moisture content (< 0.05% optional), meeting the experimental requirements of lithium-sulfur batteries

       
                                                     Application of Thiourea
 

1.Metalworking and surface treatment
Plating additives: thiourea is used as brightener and stabilizer in electroplating solution for silver plating,

gold plating and other precious metals to improve the gloss and adhesion of the coating.

Metal corrosion inhibitor: During pickling and rust removal, thiourea is used as a corrosion inhibitor

to protect metal surfaces from excessive corrosion.

2. Ore flotation and metallurgy
Flotation agent: Thiourea is used as a collector or inhibitor in the flotation of metal ores,

especially in the flotation process of copper, lead, zinc and other sulfide ores to improve metal recovery.

Precious metal extraction: thiourea can be used as a leaching agent for the extraction of precious metals such as gold

and silver, replacing the traditional cyanide method to reduce environmental pollution.

3. Chemical and Materials Science
Resin modification: thiourea is used to modify phenolic resin and urea-formaldehyde resin

to improve its heat resistance, mechanical properties and processing properties.

Plastic additives: as antioxidants or stabilizers, extend the service life of plastic products.

Functional materials: thiourea can be used to synthesize functional materials with special optical,

electrical or magnetic properties.

4. Environmental protection and resource recycling
Wastewater treatment: Thiourea is used

to remove heavy metal ions (such as mercury, cadmium, lead, etc.) from wastewater by forming stable complex precipitation.

Exhaust gas purification: thiourea can be used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO₂)

and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) from industrial exhaust gases.

Battery recycling: In the recycling process of used batteries, thiourea is used

to extract valuable metals such as cobalt and nickel.

5. Medicine and Biotechnology
Drug synthesis: Thiourea is an important intermediate for the synthesis of antibacterial,

antiviral and anticancer drugs.

Protein research: Thiourea is used for denaturation and renaturation of proteins

and has important applications in biotechnology and life sciences.

6. Agriculture and food industry
Plant growth regulators: thiourea has the potential to improve crop stress resistance and yield,

and may become a new growth regulator in the agricultural field.

Food preservative: Thiourea is used as an antioxidant and preservative to keep food fresh and extend shelf life.

7. Photography and video technology
Developer: thiourea is used in the development process of black

and white photos to speed up the development reaction and improve the image quality.

8. Laboratory and scientific research
Analytical reagents: Thiourea is used to detect metal ions (such as bismuth, antimony, etc.) and organic compounds.

Crystal growth: Thiourea is used as a solvent or additive in crystal growth experiments

to regulate crystal morphology and size.

9. New energy and sustainable development
Battery technology: thiourea, as an electrolyte additive, can improve the charge

and discharge performance and cycle life of batteries,

and has broad application prospects in lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells and other fields.

Hydrogen energy storage: thiourea and its derivatives show potential in the research of hydrogen energy storage materials.

10. Other applications
Preservative: Thiourea is used as a preservative in some industrial products to extend their service life.

Preparation of nanomaterials: thiourea, as a reducing agent or template agent,

plays an important role in the preparation of nanomaterials.

                                                                                                     
1. Precious metal metallurgy (Alternative to cyanide)

Effect: The gold leaching rate is over 95%, the toxicity is only 1/100 of that of the cyanidation method, and the cost of wastewater treatment is reduced by 50%.
Recommended process: Thiourea +Fe³⁺ acidic system, pH=1.5-2.0, temperature 40-50℃.
2. Electroplating additives (Galvanizing/tin)

Advantages: Enhance the density of the coating, reduce pores, and extend the salt spray test time to over 120 hours.
3. Pharmaceutical intermediates

Case: It is used for the synthesis of the antithyroid drug methimazole, with a purity reaching the EP9.0 standard.
4. Dyeing and printing reducing agent

Comparison data: It has higher stability than sodium hyposulfite (sodium hyposulfite) and can be stored for up to 12 months
