Impact of the sulphanole surfactant on hydro-aerosol formation processes is studied for nickel salts as applied in electrolytic refining. Inhibition of cathode hydrogen emission and decrease in hydrogen bubble sizes is shown. Surfactant influence on nickel corrosion potential in sulphatechloride nickel-containing electrolyte is revealed.
