Abstract This chapter first explains the natural flotability of some minerals in the aspect of the crystal structure and demonstates the collectorless flotaiton of some minerals and its dependence on the h and pH of pulp. And then the surface oxidation is analysed eletrochemically and the relations of E to the composition of the solutions are calculated in accordance with Nemst Equation. The E h-pH diagrams of several minerals are obtained. Thereafter, electrochemical determination such as linear potential sweep voltammetry (LPSV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) and surface analysis of surface oxidation applied to the sulphide minerals are introduced. And recent researches have proved that elemental sulfur is the main hydrophobic entity which causes the collectorless flotability and also revealed the relation of the amount of sulfur formed on the mineral surfaces to the recoveries of minerals, which is always that the higher the concentration of surface sulphur, the quicker the collectorless flotation rate and thus the higher the recovery. 

The monotonic increase of immobilized material vith the number of deposition cycles in the LbL technique is vhat allo vs control over film thickness on the nanometric scale. Eilm growth in LbL has been very well characterized by several complementary experimental techniques such as UV-visible spectroscopy [66, 67], quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) [68-70], X-ray [63] and neutron reflectometry [3], Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ETIR) [71], ellipsometry [68-70], cyclic voltammetry (CV) [67, 72], electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) [73], -potential [74] and so on. The complement of these techniques can be appreciated, for example, in the integrated charge in cyclic voltammetry experiments or the redox capacitance in EIS for redox PEMs The charge or redox capacitance is not necessarily that expected for the complete oxidation/reduction of all the redox-active groups that can be estimated by other techniques because of the experimental timescale and charge-transport limitations. 

The reduction of Ti4+ to Ti3+ in TS-1 has also been observed with cyclic voltammetry using zeolite-modified carbon paste electrodes. With silicalite, neither anodic nor cathodic processes can be observed. However, TS-1 is electrochemically active, with a reduction process at +0.56 V versus a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) and an oxidation process at +0.65 versus SCE. These observations must be attributed to the redox system Ti4+/Ti3 +. The electrochemical process involves the Ti cations of the inner part of the zeolite crystals, provided that a suitable electrolyte cation can diffuse inside the channels to compensate for the electrical imbalance caused by the redox process in the solid ... 

The stable did -azulcnyl)thieno[3,2-9]thiophene-2,5-diyl spacers 78a and 78b were prepared by hydride abstraction of the corresponding 2,5-bis[bis(methyl and 3,6-di-tert-butyl-l-azulenyl)methyl]thieno[3,2-9]thiophenes 77a and 77b, the synthesis of which was established by the reaction of 1-methyl- and 1,6-di-t-butylazulcncs 75a and 75b with thicno 3,2-9 thiophene-2,5-dicarbaldehyde 76 (Scheme 11). The dications 76 showed high stability with large pA"R+ values. The electrochemical behavior of 78 was examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Chemical reduction of 78 with Zn powder in acetonitrile afforded 79 as deep-colored crystals, which exhibited rather high...

Potential or current step transients seem to be more appropriate for kinetic studies since the initial and boundary conditions of the experiment are better defined unlike linear scan or cyclic voltammetry where time and potential are convoluted. The time resolution of the EQCM is limited in this case by the measurement of the resonant frequency. There are different methods to measure the crystal resonance frequency. In the simplest approach, the Miller oscillator or similar circuit tuned to one of the crystal resonance frequencies may be used and the frequency can be measured directly with a frequency meter [18]. This simple experimental device can be easily built, but has a poor resolution which is inversely proportional to the measurement time for instance for an accuracy of 1 Hz, a gate time of 1 second is needed, and for 0.1 Hz the measurement lasts as long as 10 seconds minimum to achieve the same accuracy. An advantage of the Miller oscillator is that the crystal electrode is grounded and can be used as the working electrode with a hard ground potentiostat with no conflict between the high ac circuit and the dc electrochemical circuit.

Before each measurement, single crystals were first elec-trochemically polished35 and then flame annealed for several minutes, cooled down, and either immersed into an external electrochemical cell for cyclic voltammetry (CV) characterization or mounted into an electrochemical cell of an STM. For both CV and in situ STM results, sample potentials were measured and presented vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode.
