Some aspects of the electrochemical behaviour of zinc
thesis
posted on 2018-11-19, 17:23 authored by Alan MarshallThe active region of the dissolution of zinc in flowing electrolyte
has been examined. In certain circumstances the active dissolution is
extended indefinitely when silicate ion is present.
Double-layer capacitance measurements have been made and the
results confirm earlier observations that it is possible to study the
electrode/electrolyte solution interphase free from the intrusion of
adsorbed anions. It is also shown that the silicate ion is adsorbed
at the electrode at potentials close to the dissolution potential.
The exchange reaction has been studied and improvements made to
earlier reported data. A proposed mechanism consistent with the new
kinetic data appears to be satisfactory. [Continues.]
