Oxidation coating deposition

The working electrodes (WEs) used in the CV and a.c. impedance experiments consisted of Ti wire substrates (99.99%, Johnson-Matthey, Inc., 2 mm diameter). The cross-sectional end of each bare Ti wire (0.0314 cm2) was polished with 600 grit paper, rinsed with acetone, dried, rinsed with methylene chloride, dried again and then rinsed with triply distilled water before oxide-coating deposition.

In the microelectronics industry, powdered metals and insulating materials that consist of noimoble metals and oxides are deposited by screen printing in order to form coatings with high resistivities and low temperature coefficients of resistance. This technique may be useful in depositing oxide—metal refractory coatings. 

Transparent electroconductive coatings of stannic oxide are deposited on nonconductive substrates for electrical and strengthening appHcations. However, the agents used to deposit the oxide film are actually stannic chloride. More recently, some organotin compounds have been employed. 

Starting with a ceramic and depositing an aluminum oxide coating. The aluminum oxide makes the ceramic, which is fairly smooth, have a number of bumps. On those bumps a noble metal catalyst, such as platinum, palladium, or rubidium, is deposited. The active site, wherever the noble metal is deposited, is where the conversion will actually take place. An alternate to the ceramic substrate is a metallic substrate. In this process, the aluminum oxide is deposited on the metallic substrate to give the wavy contour. The precious metal is then deposited onto the aluminum oxide. Both forms of catalyst are called monoliths. 

An alternate form of catalyst is pellets. The pellets are available in various diameters or extruded forms. The pellets can have an aluminum oxide coating with a noble metal deposited as the catalyst. The beads are placed in a tray or bed and have a depth of anywhere from 6 to 10 inches. The larger the bead (1/4 inch versus 1/8 inch) the less the pressure drop through the catalyst bed. However, the larger the bead, the less surface area is present in the same volume which translates to less destruction efficiency. Higher pressure drop translates into higher horsepower required for the oxidation system. The noble metal monoliths have a relatively low pressure drop and are typically more expensive than the pellets for the same application. 

The active coating consists of a thermally deposited mixed metal oxide coating, the composition of which is considered proprietary information, although it is known that certain filler materials, e.g. Ta, may be added to the mixed metal oxide to reduce the precious metal content of the coating, and hence the cost of the anode.

DSA-02 oxide-coated Ti anode (DSA = Dimensionally Stable Anode) is placed, thus creating a large cathode volume. The effluent solution flows perpendicularly through the electrodes with a typical flow rate of 0.5 dm3 s-1. The flowthrough metal electrodes have an active area approximately 15 times their geometric area. The cell allows air sparging to increase the mass-transfer. The current efficiency is about 40% when the inlet concentration of the metal ions is 150 to 1500 ppm and the concentration at the out-let is about 50 ppm. The cell is currently used for the treatment of recirculated wash-waters from acid copper, copper cyanide, zinc cyanide, zinc chloride, cadmium sulphate, cadmium cyanide and precious metal plating and washwaters from electroless copper deposition. Since the foam metal electrodes are relatively expensive the electrodes...

Also, other metal oxide coatings are possible, for example, electrochemically deposited manganese dioxide. Moreover, further electrocatalytically active oxides are research objectives, for example, oxides with spinel structure such as CoMu204 [36].

The dominant class of lustre pigments is based upon oxide coatings of mica platelets, but newer materials have appeared e.g. silica and alumina flakes from Merck, with better performance characteristics than traditional mica." " There has also been developments in the technology for the coating of reflective metal platelets, e.g. aluminium, with oxides using chemical vapour deposition that has led to exciting new products. ... 

Yttrium is also used in other areas of metallurgy notably as a component of certain nickel-base and cobalt-base superalloys of the NiCrAlY and CoCrAlY type.(3) These alloys possess excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, properties that have attracted the attention of the aero-engine industry where they are used as protective coatings on turbine blades. The alloys, when applied by vapour deposition, form an oxide coating that exhibits remarkable adhesion, a property attributed largely to the yttrium component acting to prevent the formation of voids at the oxide/substrate interface.(4)... 

Table 51 shows an overview of pigments with luster effects. Effect pigments can be classified as metal platelets, oxide-coated metal platelets, oxide-coated mica platelets, platelet-like mono-crystals and comminuted PVD-films (Physical Vapor Deposition). Aims of new developments are new effects, colors, improvement of hiding power, increase of the interference color, increase of light and weather stability and improved dispersibility characteristics. Of special interest are pigments which are toxicologically safe and which can be produced by ecologically acceptable processes.
