Three metallic phase

All three metals form a wide variety of binary chalcogenides which frequently differ both in stoichiometry and in structure from the oxides. Many have complex structures which are not easily described, and detailed discussion is therefore inappropriate. The various sulfide phases are listed in Table 22.4 phases approximating to the stoichiometry MS have the NiAs-type structure (p. 556) whereas MS2 have layer lattices related to M0S2 (p. 1018), Cdl2, or CdCl2 (p. 1212). Sometimes complex layer-sequences occur in which the 6-coordinate metal atom is alternatively octahedral and trigonal prismatic. Most of the phases exhibit... 

Cu will be unaffected by the atmosphere, whilst at other atmospheric compositions the pure oxides will be stable. Figure 7.76 illustrates a simplified diagram at 871°C for three metallic elements Cr/Mn/Ni-S-O in a heat-resisting alloy the range for coal gasification is also included. It is clear that CrjOj is stable in all these atmospheres, but NiS will be stable under these atmospheric conditions above 620°C in the form of a eutectic liquid with Ni. Thus, an alloy of Cr and Ni may produce either of these phases or their mixtures leading to corrosion problems. 

After a study of the three alternatives we concluded that pyroredox offered the most promise for anode residue recovery. Pyroredox is a molten-salt process in which plutonium metal is oxidized chemically into the salt phase and then reduced chemically into the metal phase. Most of the impurities are not oxidized and remain in the metal residue. Thus, for a Pu-Ga anode residual, the reactions would be ... 

Whereas the reduction potentials for the three metal ions range from +0.19V vs NHE(Cu) to +1.58V(Au), the potentials for oxidation of OH in their presence are -0.79V vs NHE(Cu), -0.30V(Ag), and -0.19V(Au). This is compatible with the proposition that oxidation occurs via the facilitated removal of an electron from OH and formation of an M-OH covalent bond. The only exception to the close agreement between gas-phase and redox-derived M-OH bond energies is the Cu-OH bond energy from aqueous redox data. This may be due to an inaccurate formal potential for the CuOH/Cu, OH couple (a value of 0.0V vs NHE rather than -0.36V would result in a more consistent bond-energy estimate). 

In reviewing these results, we would like to emphasize the information they provide about metals deposition chemistry as well as the potential utility of the proposed regeneration process. The metals extraction studies confirm the fact that three distinct phases of vanadium occur on these catalysts and that they are of varying reactivity. By contrast, the nickel removal is essentially complete under similar conditions. We suggest... 

The fundamental behaviour of stationary phase materials is related to their solubility-interaction properties. A hydrophobic phase acts as a partner to a hydrophobic interaction. An ionic phase acts as a partner for ion-ion interactions, and surface metal ions as a partner for ligand complex formation. A chiral phase partners chiral recognition, and specific three-dimensional phases partner affinity interactions. 

Despite the vast quantity of data on electropolymerization, relatively little is known about the processes involved in the deposition of oligomers (polymers) on the electrode, that is, the heterogeneous phase transition. Research - voltammetric, potential, and current step experiments - has concentrated largely on the induction stage of film formation of PPy [6, 51], PTh [21, 52], and PANI [53]. In all these studies, it has been overlooked that electropolymerization is not comparable with the electrocrystallization of inorganic metallic phases and oxide films [54]. Thus, two-or three-dimensional growth mechanisms have been postulated on the basis that the initial deposition steps involve one- or two-electron transfers of a soluted species and the subsequent formation of ad-molecules at the electrode surface, which may form clusters and nuclei through surface diffusion. These phenomena are still unresolved. 

For some metallic electrodes, such as transition metals, metal ions dissolve directly from the metallic phase into acidic solutions tiiis direct dissolution of metal ions proceeds at relatively low (less anodic) electrode potentials. The direct dissolution of metal ions is inhibited by the formation of a thin oxide film on metallic electrodes at higher (more anodic) electrode potentials. At still higher electrode potentials this inhibitive film becomes electrochemically soluble (or apparently broken down) and the dissolution rate of the metal increases substantially. These three states of direct dissolution, inhibition by a film, and indirect dissolution via a film (or a broken film) are illustrated in Fig. 11-9. 

Equation 11.118 finds practical application in cosmological studies and in geology (dating of sulfide deposits and sediments). Figure 11.27A shows, for instance, the Re-Os isochron for iron meteorites and the metallic phase of chondrites, obtained by Luck and Allegre (1983). The fact that all samples fit the same isochron within analytical uncertainty has three important cosmological implications ...

PCM and C" " are the cations exchanged between the PCM and the electrolyte solution. In Eq. (I), three different phases are indicated, phase I being the metal that conducts the electrons to or away from the PCM, phase II being the solid PCM, and phase III being the electrolyte solution. The three phases constitute the essential feature of a so-called three-phase electrode as it is schematically depicted in Fig. 3. 

The system was effective as a solid-phase preconcentrahon agent for cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(n) at pH 5.5 using column chromatography. A especially desirable feature was that the three metals could be cleanly separated by adjusting the pH of the eluent [16]. 

One type of colloidal system has been chosen for discussion, a system in which the solid metal phase has been shrank in three dimensions to give small solid particles in Brownian motion in a solution. Such a colloidal suspension consisting of discrete, separate particles immersed in a continuous phase is known as a sol. One can also have a case where only two dimensions (e.g., the height z and breadth y of a cube) are shrank to colloidal dimensions. The result is long spaghettihke particles dispersed in solution—macromolecular solutions.
