Consider Ni exposed to Oj/HjO vapour mixtures. Possible oxidation products are NiO and Ni (OH)2, but the large molar volume of Ni (OH)2, (24 cm compared with that of Ni, 6.6 cm ) means that the hydroxide is not likely to form as a continuous film. From thermodynamic data, Ni (OH)2 is the stable species in pure water vapour, and in all Oj/HjO vapour mixtures in which O2 is present in measurable quantities, and certainly if the partial pressure of O2 is greater than the dissociation pressure of NiO. But the actual reaction product is determined by kinetics, not by thermodynamics, and because the mechanism of hydroxide formation is more complex than oxide formation, Ni (OH)2 is only expected to form in the later stages of the oxidation at the NiO/gas interface. As it does so, cation vacancies are formed in the oxide according to... 

However, the fact that lithium hydroxide formation was ignored when fi5 for Li was calculated might account for the low observed value for this metal. Again, both ne-/ne-,oq. and k65 appear to achieve maximum values for metals with ionization potentials of about 170 kcal./mole whereas the energy available from the reaction... 

The acid and alkali wastes are pumped from the acid-alkali wastewater sump [T-30] into the acid-alkali treatment module [T-31], Metering pumps controlled by pH instruments feed either acid or caustic to the module as required to maintain an acceptable alkalinity for the formation of metal hydroxides prior to discharge to the precipitator consisting of a mixing tank [T-98], a surge tank [T-99], and a sedimentation clarifier [T-101], The pH is adjusted to a value of 8.5 for optimum metal hydroxide formation and removal. 

Formation of the t2g band with a binding energy of 0.8 eV below the Fermi level in Fig. 21 indicates a change in Ru coordination for potentials above 0.4 V. The increased O/Ru ratio in Fig. 20 is therefore not only a consequence of enhanced counter ion adsorption, but rather a result of oxide/hydroxide formation. 

Adsorption of water is thought to occur mainly at steps and defects and is very common on polycrystalline surfaces, and hence the metal oxides are frequently covered with hydroxyl groups. On prolonged exposure, hydroxide formation may proceed into the bulk of the solid in certain cases as with very basic oxides such as BaO. The adsorption of water may either be a dissociative or nondissociative process and has been investigated on surfaces such as MgO, CaO, TiOz, and SrTi03.16 These studies illustrate the fact that water molecules react dissociatively with defect sites at very low water-vapor pressures (< 10 9 torr) and then with terrace sites at water-vapor pressures that exceed a threshold pressure. Hydroxyl groups will be further discussed in the context of Bronsted acids and Lewis bases. 

The XPS results do not indicate significant cobalt(II) hydroxide formation following complex sorption at pH 8 or 10 for... 

Hydroperoxide and hydroxide formation by slight thermal oxidation of LDPE can be confirmed by IR spectroscopy, showing bands at 3555 cm for OOH and about 3400 cm for OH. The band at 3555 cm is very weak or absent for the oxidation products of LLDPE . C FT-NMR is also useful to investigate this process (see Section V.C.4). 

This reasoning, that no solid phase phase will form if the ion product does not exceed Ksp, may not be true under certain circumstances. CdS formation might occur at the substrate surface under conditions where none can be formed homogeneously. This is an important point however, since it will be treated in more detail in the following section, on hydroxide formation, it therefore will not be discussed further in this section. 

All these results show that Cd(OH)2 colloids do adsorb on a substrate (either under conditions where Cd(OH)2 is present in solution or, according to the studies of Rieke and Bentjen and Ortega-Borges and Lincot [48], even when it is not present in solution but under solution conditions close to solid hydroxide formation). The induction period when no deposition is seen in the hydroxide-cluster deposition therefore is understood to mean that a fast and nongrowing Cd(OH)2 adsorption has occurred, which is too fast and/or too httle to measure by the experimental methods used to make the kinetic curves, and that only when the hydroxide starts to convert into the chalcogenide, by reaction of the slowly formed chalcogenide ion with the hydroxide, does real film formation proceed. 

The second example is seen in the study of PbSe deposition by Kainthla et al. from selenosnlphate solution [41]. In most examples of CD from alkaline so-Intion, the deposition rate increases with increase in pH. This is due to both the greater rate of decomposition of the chalcogenide precursor at higher pH (this decomposition nsnally involves hydroxide ions) and, in many cases, the greater probability of solid hydroxide formation (as long as this is not excessive). However, for PbSe deposition nsing citrate as complex for the Pb and selenosnlphate as Se precursor, the opposite occurs The deposition rate decreases with increase in pH. This is dne to the specific hydroxy-citrate complex formed ... 

Finally, although no attempt was made to convert the film to oxide, ln(OH)3, for use as a buffer layer on PV cells (see Chap. 9), was deposited from a thiourea-based solution of lnCl3 at a pH of 3.3 [19]. Apparently no sulphide was formed, possibly due to the relatively high (for In) pH, which favored hydroxide formation. 

This equation shows that not only a high metal-ion concentration, but also a high pH, often favors the formation of higher polynuclear species, since y generally increases more rapidly than x. For many aqua metal ions, however, the precipitation of insoluble hydroxides sets an upper pH limit, so that in practice it is possible to study the oligomerization reactions only within a narrow pH region defined by the magnitude of the first acid dissociation constant of the monomeric aqua ion and the pH at which insoluble hydroxide formation occurs. 

Iron ions (Fe2+ or Fe3+) are easily hydrolyzed with hydroxide formation. 

It is obvious that the bioavailable Zn2+ fraction is strongly pH related. At all but the highest pH, a considerable part of the total zinc concentration is complexed by DOC and thus rendered biologically inactive. At higher pH, an increasing fraction of total Zn is made less available by hydroxide formation. 

Potential-pH diagrams are useful in this respect, also. They indicate the potential and pH conditions under which a solid product is thermodynamically stable (Fig. 12.12). The regions of the potential-pH diagram in which oxide or hydroxide formation receives thermodynamic approval arise as follows ... 

Noble metal electrodes include metals whose redox couple M/Mz+ is not involved in direct electrochemical reactions in all nonaqueous systems of interest. Typical examples that are the most important practically are gold and platinum. It should be emphasized, however, that there are some electrochemical reactions which are specific to these metals, such as underpotential deposition of lithium (which depends on the host metal) [45], Metal oxide/hydroxide formation can occur, but, in any event, these are surface reactions on a small scale (submonolayer -> a few monolayers at the most [6]).

Rhodium Black is the name given to the black precipitate of indefinite composition obtained by reduction of solutions of rhodium salts, as, for example, by treatment with alcohol and potassium hydroxide or with a mixture of ammonium hydroxide, formate, and acetate. The precipitate consists of metallic rhodium associated with more or less hydride or oxide, and in an exceedingly fine state of subdivision.2 Inactive rhodium black becomes active after absorbing oxygen for a time.
