Cycle-charging

Current vs. time traces show that when UPD potentials from studies on gold are used for a cycle, charges during the first cycle look reasonable, consistent with forming a monolayer of the compound. Subsequent cycles, however, show a steady drop in charges each cycle. After a short time, 10-20 cycles, the currents are insignificant, and no visible deposit is formed.

Once the reaction is over, lead and slag are sequentially cast from the casting hole in the middle of the kiln. Molten lead and slag are cast in ladles on a train perpendicular to the kiln and kept under suction.The whole cycle- charging, reactions and casting -lasts about 3 hours. The fumes are conveyed to a fume scrubber, before sending them to a filter. Sometimes, a special scrubber for SO2 is also used, to eliminate possible excess. 

Figure 4 shows various voltametric sweeps". In the case of FeOCl two well-defined waves corresponding to the intercalation and deintercalation processes are apparent. The value of the potential at the cathodic current peak gives Eo(FeOCl) = —270 mV vs. Ag/Ag and indicates the case of reduction of the Fe species. The reoxidation wave at — 80 mV corresponds to a one-cycle charge recuperation >80%. This is in agreement with the...

Structurally, this classification is related to the tendency of the cycles contained in the system to form an aromatic bond arrangement. To explain this, let us consider one representative of each class. In Fig. 3.17 schemes of inter-cycle charge transfer for the [5-5], [5-3], and [7-3] systems are presented.
