Reaction 10.11 involves the oxides of titanium and carbon, and the chloride of titanium thus we shall make use of both the chloride and the oxide diagrams (Figs. 10.3 and 10.1). The reaction takes place between 1000 and 1250 K. At 1100, AG° for equation 10.11 is ...

This equation balances the available aluminium reservoir, described by the difference between the initial (Q) and the critieal ( Cg) aluminium eontent as well as the volume (F) of the sample with the eonsumption of aluminium by oxidation. The consumption is represented by the growth constant k), the corresponding exponent (1/n) and, of coimse, the total surface area (A) of the sample. The alloy density (p) and the stoichiometric factor (v) cormect the two parts. In [5] this approach has been successfully applied to construct so-called oxidation diagrams from which the lifetime can easily be read, if the temperature and the thickness of the sample are known.

The diagram gives regions of existence, i.e. for a particular combination of pH and redox potential it can be predicted whether it is thennodynamically favourable for iron to be inert (stable) (region A), to actively dissolve (region B) or to fonn an oxide layer (region C). 

In tenns of an electrochemical treatment, passivation of a surface represents a significant deviation from ideal electrode behaviour. As mentioned above, for a metal immersed in an electrolyte, the conditions can be such as predicted by the Pourbaix diagram that fonnation of a second-phase film—usually an insoluble surface oxide film—is favoured compared with dissolution (solvation) of the oxidized anion. Depending on the quality of the oxide film, the fonnation of a surface layer can retard further dissolution and virtually stop it after some time. Such surface layers are called passive films. This type of film provides the comparably high chemical stability of many important constmction materials such as aluminium or stainless steels.

Using standard-state potentials to construct a ladder diagram can present problems if solutes are not at their standard-state concentrations. Because the concentrations of the reduced and oxidized species are in a logarithmic term, deviations from standard-state concentrations can usually be ignored if the steps being compared are separated by at least 0.3 A trickier problem occurs when a half-reaction s potential is affected by the concentration of another species. For example, the potential for the following half-reaction... 

The ladder diagram for this system is shown in Figure 11.24a. Initially the potential of the working electrode remains nearly constant at a level near the standard-state potential for the Fe UFe redox couple. As the concentration of Fe + decreases, however, the potential of the working electrode shifts toward more positive values until another oxidation reaction can provide the necessary current. Thus, in this case the potential eventually increases to a level at which the oxidation of H2O occurs. 

Molten cryohte dissolves many salts and oxides, forming solutions of melting point lower than the components. Figure 1 combines the melting point diagrams for cryolite—A1F. and for cryohte—NaF. Cryohte systems ate of great importance in the HaH-Heroult electrolysis process for the manufacture of aluminum (see Aluminumand ALUMINUM alloys). Table 5 Hsts the additional examples of cryohte as a component in minimum melting compositions.

The second processing step, in which benzoic acid is oxidized and hydrolyzed to phenol, is carried out in two reactors in series. In the first reactor, the benzoic acid is oxidized to phenyl benzoate in the presence of air and a catalyst mixture of copper and magnesium salts. The reactor is operated at 234°C and 147 kPa gauge (1.5 kg/cm g uge). The phenyl benzoate is then hydrolyzed with steam in the second reactor to yield phenol and carbon dioxide. This occurs at 200°C and atmospheric pressure. The overall yield of phenol from benzoic acid is around 88 mol %. Figure 2 shows a simplified diagram for the toluene—benzoic acid process.
