Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0780495A2] A brochantite patina is generated on a copper surface in a continuous process in which the surface is first roughened and then made the anode in an electrolysis bath containing Na2CO3 and/or NaHCO3 and a salt of a sulphur containing acid. The temperature is 30-90 degrees C, the current density 1-20 A/dm<2> and the dwell time 10 seconds to 12 minutes. After rinsing it is then treated in a fixing bath containing at least one oxidising agent selected from H2O2, KClO3, K2S2O8, KMnO4 or CuSO4. The temperature is 35-95 degrees C and the dwell time 10-120 seconds. Finally it is rinsed and dried.
