In the electrodeposition of nickel carried out in the presence of sulphur, to control the content and the distribution of the sulphur in the sulphur-bearing nickel deposited onto a multiplicity of cathodes (12) in an electrolytic cell, the electrolyte contains at least one thiocyanate compound. To prevent oxidation of the thiocyanate ions by chlorine gas generated at the anode (11), the chlorine is almost completely excluded from the cathode compartment by providing a flow of electrolyte from the cathode (12) to the anode (11) and by continuously removing chlorine and chlorine-containing electrolyte from the anode through a manifold (26). A weir (14) prevents back flow. |
