Rotar Furnace. The rotary furnace, which has more flexibiUty than either the blast or reverberatory furnace, can produce either a single metal product or a high and a low antimonial alloy. The rotary furnace, like the reverberatory furnace, allows for the option of producing low antimony lead for further refinement. 

There are only a few weU-documented examples of catalysis by metal clusters, and not many are to be expected as most metal clusters are fragile and fragment to give metal complexes or aggregate to give metal under reaction conditions (39). However, the metal carbonyl clusters are conceptually important because they form a bridge between catalysts commonly used in solution, ie, transition-metal complexes with single metal atoms, and catalysts commonly used on surfaces, ie, small metal particles or clusters. 

Selectivity for a single metal of a group is the basis of a solvent extraction process for the recovery of copper (qv) from low concentration ore leach solutions containing high levels of iron (qv) and other interfering metals (16). 

Meta/ Oxides. The metal oxides aie defined as oxides of the metals occurring in Groups 3—12 (IIIB to IIB) of the Periodic Table. These oxides, characterized by high electron mobiUty and the positive oxidation state of the metal, ate generally less active as catalysts than are the supported nobel metals, but the oxides are somewhat more resistant to poisoning. The most active single-metal oxide catalysts for complete oxidation of a variety of oxidation reactions are usually found to be the oxides of the first-tow transition metals, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu. 

Clad Tube Sheets Usually tube sheets and other exchanger parts are of a solid metal. Clad or bimetallic tube sheets are usecito reduce costs or because no single metal is satisfactory for the corrosive conditions. The alloy material (e.g., stainless steel, Monel) is generally bonded or clad to a carbon steel backing material. In fixed-tube-sheet construction a copper-alloy-clad tube sheet can be welded to a steel shell, while most copper-alloy tube sheets cannot be welded to steel in a manner acceptable to ASME Code authorities. 

In most aqueous systems, the corrosion reaction is divided into an anodic portion and a cathodic portion, occurring simultaneously at discrete points on metallic surfaces. Flow of electricity from the anodic to the cathodic areas may be generated by local cells set up either on a single metallic surface (because of local point-to-point differences on the surface) or between dissimilar met s. 

Potential differences leading to galvanic-type cells can also be set up on a single metal by differences in temperature, velocity, or concentration (see subsection Crevice Corrosion ). 

Alter the chemistry of the common fluid to render it less conductive and/or less corrosive. Generally, water corrosivity increases with an increase in temperature and oxygen content and a decrease in pH. Inhibitors may he effective. Note that in mixed-metal systems, higher dosages of inhibitors may be required than would be necessary in single-metal systems in the same environment.

The essential features of the electrochemical mechanism of corrosion were outlined at the beginning of the section, and it is now necessary to consider the factors that control the rate of corrosion of a single metal in more detail. However, before doing so it is helpful to examine the charge transfer processes that occur at the two separable electrodes of a well-defined electrochemical cell in order to show that since the two half reactions constituting the overall reaction are interdependent, their rates and extents will be equal. 

A typical Evans diagrams for the corrosion of a single metal is illustrated in Fig. 1.26a (compare with Fig. 1.23 for two separable electrodes), and it can be seen that the E -I and E -I curves are drawn as straight lines that intersect at a point that defines and (it is assumed that the resistance for the solution is negligible). E can of course be determined by means of a reference electrode, but since the anodic and cathodic sites are inseparable direct determination of /co by means of an ammeter is not... 

The equilibrium potentials and E, can be calculated from the standard electrode potentials of the H /Hj and M/M " " equilibria taking into account the pH and although the pH may be determined an arbitrary value must be used for the activity of metal ions, and 0 1 = 1 is not unreasonable when the metal is corroding actively, since it is the activity in the diffusion layer rather than that in the bulk solution that is significant. From these data it is possible to construct an Evans diagram for the corrosion of a single metal in an acid solution, and a similar approach may be adopted when dissolved O2 or another oxidant is the cathode reactant. 

Figure 1.30 gives examples of single metals corroding in a highly conducting acid in which both the anodic and cathodic reactions are assumed to be under activation control, and it can be seen that at...

Measurements of the corrosion potential of a single metal corroding uniformly do not involve an IR drop, but similar considerations do not apply when the metal is polarised by an external e.m.f., and under these circumstances the IR drop must be minimised by using a Luggin capillary placed close to the surface of the electrode (see Fig. 1.22, Section 1.4). Even so, the IR drop is not completely eliminated by this method, and a further error is introduced by the capillary shielding the surface from the current flow... 

The extent of galvanic effects will be influenced by, in addition to the usual factors that affect corrosion of a single metal, the potential relationships of the metals involved, their polarisation characteristics, the relative areas of anode and cathode, and the internal and external resistances in the galvanic circuit (see Section 1.7).

Chemical transformations at the macroeyclic chromophorc of expanded porphyrins are still not known. The complexation behavior of expanded porphyrins is very different from that of nonexpanded porphinoid macrocycles. The coordination hole of the expanded porphyrins is often too big for the complexation of a single metal ion, so in fact two metal ions can be chelated. With some expanded porphyrins, anion binding is observable, a striking difference to the nonexpanded porphyrins. The complexation behavior and the host-guest chemistry of expanded porphyrins is a rapidly growing field of research. The work in this field has been reviewed. Ie f... 

This treatment assumes that diffusion of the solute to the surface is not ratecontrolling, which will generally be true. It also assumes that all surface sites are equivalent, which is often not so. For example, different surface planes of single metal crystals have been shown to have markedly different activities.
