The anodic behavior of copper electrodeposits from an acid copper sulfate bath containing sparingly soluble organic sulfur compounds has been studied. The solubilities of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) and 2-(N, N-diethylthiocarbamoylthio) benzothiazole (DECB) were 27 and 5mg/
l respectively in the acid copper sulfate bath (CuSO
4 1mol/
l, H
2SO
4 0.5mol/
l) at 30°C. The concentrations of these compounds during electrolysis were maintained in nearly saturated values in the presence of the excess solid compounds. At the current density of 2A/dm
2, the electrodeposit contained 0.055% S and 0.061% C for the bath with MBT, whereas 0.010% S and 0.008% C for the bath with DECB. During galvanostatic electrolysis in the stagnant condition, the growth of nonconducting film formed on the anode, caused a marked rise in the anode potential. The film, however, could be easily wiped off under mild agitation and the anode potential was kept in less noble one with slight oscillation. The amount of anode slime was small as in the case of phosphorized copper anode.
