Title: ELECTROCHEMICAL STUDIES ON TITANIUM IN MOLTEN LiCl–KCl EUTECTIC
Abstract:The methods of potentiometry and polarography have been used to study the Ti(II) and Ti(III) ions in solution in the LiCl–KCl eutectic at 450 °C and 550 °C. Solutions of Ti(II) were prepared by anodic...The methods of potentiometry and polarography have been used to study the Ti(II) and Ti(III) ions in solution in the LiCl–KCl eutectic at 450 °C and 550 °C. Solutions of Ti(II) were prepared by anodic dissolution of Ti metal, and Ti(III) solutions by coulometric titration of Ti(II) by Pt(II). Apparent standard electrode potentials were measured for the Ti(II)/Ti and Ti(III)/Ti(II) couples against the Pt(II)/Pt and Ag(I)/Ag reference electrodes. Values obtained on the mole fraction scale with a Pt(II)/Pt reference electrode were[Formula: see text]Polarographic waves for oxidation and reduction of Ti(II), and for reduction of Ti(III), were observed.Read More
