Alternatives to gold cyanide bath

I intend to find a new bath composition for the gold electroplating. most of the works have used KCN as the supporting electrolyte which might be the best because of its stability and not sludge producing. but I am looking for a new electrolyte, except for KCN or CN-solutions. Thanks

Hi, Arsh. These are also neutral gold baths and acid gold baths based on a couple of different technologies. The Metal Finishing Guidebook will introduce it all to you. Good luck.
