Adsorption impedance

Depressants can impede adsorption of collectors on the mineral surfaces in the following order citric acid > Alizarin Red S > EDTA-Na. But adsorption of these depressants themselves on the minerals is in the order of (VIII) > (I) > (VII) > (HI) > (VI). These order show that adsorbability of effective depressants is higher than that of carboxylate collectors which chemisorb on mineral surfaces. 

The Si/Al ratio has a direct relationship with the pH of the resulting solution the zeolite is dispersed in. Thus, it is important to consider the resultant pH of a reaction media as this will enhance or impede adsorption processes. The overall result shows that malathion degradation in water... 

A molecular sieving effect of mesoporous FSM silicas with different pore diameters was reported by Hata et al. [224]. Taxol, an anticancer substance, was not adsorbed in the channels with pore sizes less than 1.6 nm. Taxol contains C=0 and OH groups and was adsorbed only from dichloromethane and toluene solution. It is not adsorbed from methanol or acetone due to the low degree of hydrophilicity of the porous materials. Reaction with trimethyl chlorosilane impeded adsorption because the surfaces are too hydrophobic. By a special adsorption-desorption procedure, Taxol could be enriched from yew needle extracts using certain FSMs. 

The impedance diagram often does not allow segregating the film impedance, adsorption, and charge/mass-transfer processes, similar in fact to the... 

The role of oxygen and hydrogen solutions in the metal catalyst does not appear to be that of impeding the major reactions, but merely to provide a source of these reactants which is uniformly distributed diroughout the catalyst particles, without decreasing die number of surface sites available to methane adsorption. It is drerefore quite possible that a significatit fraction of the reaction takes place by the formation of products between species adsorbed on the surface, and dissolved atoms just below the surface, but in adjacent sites to the active surface sites. 

Recent developments in the mechanisms of corrosion inhibition have been discussed in reviews dealing with acid solutions " and neutral solu-tions - . Novel and improved experimental techniques, e.g. surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy , infrared spectroscopy. Auger electron spectroscopyX-ray photoelectron spectroscopyand a.c. impedance analysis have been used to study the adsorption, interaction and reaction of inhibitors at metal surfaces. 

Some emphasis has been placed inthis Section on the nature of theel trified interface since it is apparent that adsorption at the interface between the metal and solution is a precursor to the electrochemical reactions that constitute corrosion in aqueous solution. The majority of studies of adsorption have been carried out using a mercury electrode (determination of surface tension us. potential, impedance us. potential, etc.) and this has lead to a grater understanding of the nature of the electrihed interface and of the forces that are responsible for adsorption of anions and cations from solution. Unfortunately, it is more difficult to study adsorption on clean solid metal surfaces (e.g. platinum), and the situation is even more complicated when the surface of the metal is filmed with solid oxide. Nevertheless, information obtained with the mercury electrode can be used to provide a qualitative interpretation of adsorption phenomenon in the corrosion of metals, and in order to emphasise the importance of adsorption phenomena some examples are outlined below. 

Adsorption is, of course, of major importance in the inhibition of corrosion by organic compounds (adsorption inhibitors) that have the ability to adsorb strongly on the metal surface, thus impeding the dissolution reaction and reducing the corrosion rate. It follows that the coverage of a metal surface by adsorbed inhibitor can be evaluated from the relationship... 

According to experimental data,208,209 the SNIFTIR technique can be used to probe the electrical properties of the electrical double layer even in more concentrated solutions where cyclic voltammetry (cv), impedance, chronocoulometry, and other techniques are not applicable. Iwasita and Xia210 have used FTIR reflection-adsorption spectra to identify the potential at which the orientation of water molecules changes from hydrogen down to oxygen down. 

Using impedance data of TBN+ adsorption and back-integration,259,588 a more reliable value of <7 0 was found for a pc-Cu electrode574,576 (Table 11). Therefore, differences between the various EffM) values are caused by the different chemical states and surface structures of pc-Cu electrodes prepared by different methods (electrochemical or chemical polishing, mechanical cutting). Naumov etal,585 have observed these differences in the pzc of electroplated Cu films prepared in different ways. 

A diffuse-layer minimum in C,E curves has not been found with electrodes kept 3 min at E = -0.74 V, i.e., at a potential close to the rest potential of Fe.728 Complete cathodic reduction at <<-0.74 V (SCE) is not achieved since a diffuse-layer minimum is not found for cathodically reduced electrodes. This effect has been explained by the oxidation of Fe. According to impedance data, strong specific adsorption of Cl anions at renewed Fe electrodes occurs since a very large shift of Eosq takes place going from KF to KC1 solutions. 

Renewed Sn + Cd alloy surfaces have been studied by Safonov and Choba821 by impedance. The has been found to shift toward more negative E with time, suggesting that the content of Cd at the Sn + Cd alloy surface increases with time. For the alloy with 10% Cd, the time dependence of C for adsorption of organic substances is significantly different from that for Sn + Pb alloys. At relatively short times, E"1 shifts in the negative direction, which shows the increase of the Cd content in the Sn + Cd alloy surface layer. At longer times, an additional adsorption-desorption peak (step) has been observed, which has been explained by the formation of rather wide two-dimensional areas of Cd microcrystals at the alloy surface.824... 

Anodically polished and then cathodically reduced Cd + Pb alloys have been studied by impedance in aqueous electrolyte solutions (NaF, KF, NaC104, NaN02, NaN03).827 For an alloy with 2% Pb at cNap 0.03 M, Emfo = -0.88 V (SCE) and depends on cNaF, which has been explained by weak specific adsorption of F" anions. Surface activity increases in the sequence F" < CIO4 < N02. The Parsons-Zobel plot at E is linear, with /pz = 1.33 and CT° = 0.31 F m"2. Since the electrical double-layer parameters are closer to those for pc-Pb than for pc-Cd, it has been concluded that Pb is the surface-active component in Cd + Pb alloys827 (Pb has a lower interfacial tension in the liquid state). 

Metal/molten salt interfaces have been studied mainly by electrocapillary833-838 and differential capacitance839-841 methods. Sometimes the estance method has been used.842 Electrocapillary and impedance measurements in molten salts are complicated by nonideal polarizability of metals, as well as wetting of the glass capillary by liquid metals. The capacitance data for liquid and solid electrodes in contact with molten salt show a well-defined minimum in C,E curves and usually have a symmetrical parabolic form.8 10,839-841 Sometimes inflections or steps associated with adsorption processes arise, whose nature, however, is unclear.8,10 A minimum in the C,E curve lies at potentials close to the electrocapillary maximum, but some difference is observed, which is associated with errors in comparing reference electrode (usually Pb/2.5% PbCl2 + LiCl + KC1)840 potential values used in different studies.8,10 It should be noted that any comparison of experimental data in aqueous electrolytes and in molten salts is somewhat questionable.
