Current density effect

Effects of current density(I) on the recovery of copper in the reactor can be seen in Fig. 5. As can be seen, the value of R increased gradually with increasing ciurent density, since the mass transfer rate of copper ion is proportional to the current density. Effects of amount of fluidized particles on the recovery of copper can be seen in Fig. 6. Note that the addition of a small amount of fluidized particles (W=1.0wt.%) to the reactor could increase the copper recovery up to 10 25%. It has been mderstood that the contacting of fluidized solid particles with the cathode plate could clean the siuface as well as decrease the diffusion layer of copper ion, which results in the increases of reaction rate and current efficiency, thus, the recovery of copper could be increased. 

Fig. 13.3. Rankit plot for the cathodic OSWV copper peak current-density effects of interferents from a Plackett-Burman 7-factor experimental design. The effect is the change in the copper current density upon increasing the metal-ion interferent concentration from its low level (—1, 0.2 pM) to its high level (+1, 5pM). Reprinted from Ref.

An important one is that deposition occurs on the anode, and it is known (5J that some metal is incorporated into the polymer film, presumably because oxidation of the substrate can compete with polymer deposition. Because of this problem of anodic metal dissolution, cathodic deposition of epoxy resins (9-10) was developed. A second disadvantage in using the polyamic acid is that the formulations used do not deposit an insulating film, and thus the film thickness is not self-limiting. Although this fact may allow quite thick films to be deposited, it also means that the film thickness is not uniform as it will depend on distance from the counter-electrode and other current density effects.

Comparing Galvanic couples of tin-platinmn and tin-gold illustrates the exchange current density effect on the overall corrosion rate. The reversible potential of Au Au in the emf series is -F1.50 V vs. SHE, more positive than Pt Pt (-F1.20 V vs. SHE).

The perception of a current through human skin is dependent on frequency, current density, effective electrode area, and skin site/condition. Current duration also is a factor, in the case of DC determining the quantity of electricity and thereby the electrolytic effects according to Faraday s law (see Section 7.8). 

Electrodeposits may show an uneven thickness or localized excessive current density effects such as dendrite formation, (i iV) or oxide/hydroxide formation due to localized pH increases. (These effects may be examined in devices such as the Hull cell, (section 8.1.1) which exhibits a deliberate variation in cathode current density.)... 

However, the PEMFC stack has the greatest potential for cost reduction. Cell power density would have the greatest effort for the optimization. For stationary applications, lower current densities could be acceptable than used in transport applications in order to increase efficiency. A balance has to be made between system efficiency and acceptable stack current density, effectively stack cost/kW output. Another opportunity to reduce the costs lie in identifying a cheaper membrane, electrode material as well as lower platinum loadings in the electrodes. 

First, the eddy current density is damped while penetrating into the conductor (penetration effect). Here the frequency dependence of the penetration depth implies that for deep lying cracks low frequencies must be used for obtaining a sufficient current density in the vicinity of the crack. Secondly, due to the induction law the induced current density at the surface jco is diminished when using lower frequencies. Therefore, in total, there is a certain excitation frequency which results in a maximum response field from the crack. 

The effects of ultrasound-enlianced mass transport have been investigated by several authors [73, 74, 75 and 76]. Empirically, it was found that, in the presence of ultrasound, the limiting current for a simple reversible electrode reaction exhibits quasi-steady-state characteristics with intensities considerably higher in magnitude compared to the peak current of the response obtained under silent conditions. The current density can be... 

Process variables also play a significant part in determination of surface finish. For example, the higher the current density, generally the smoother the finish on the workpiece surface. Tests using nickel machined in HCl solution show that the surface finish improves from an etched to a poHshed appearance when the current density is increased from ca 8 to 19 A/cm and the flow velocity is held constant. A similar effect is achieved when the electrolyte velocity is increased. Bright smooth finishes are obtained over the main machining zone using both NaCl and NaNO electrolyte solutions and current densities of 45-75 A/cm. ...
