Water oxygen solubility

Oxygen solubility decreases almost linearly with increasing temperature but the diffusion rate increases exponentially. This leads to a slight increase in corrosion rate with increasing temperature although in Eq. (4-6) the factor is assumed to be greater. For this reason an increase in corrosion rate of about 1.5 times is considered in tropical waters compared with the North Atlantic. 

Thioacids have a most disagreeable odour and slowly decompose in air. Their boiling points are lower than those of the coiTcsponding oxygen counterparts and they are less soluble in water, but soluble in most organic solvents. An important dithioacid is dithiocarbonic acid (HO—CS2H). Whilst the free acid is unknown, many derivatives have been prepared such as potassium xanthate giving a yellow precipitate of copper xanthate with copper salts ...

The level of DO in water is primarily a function of temperature and pressure, but salt concentration (or TDS) and some other parameters can influence oxygen solubility, and some variation may occur. Nevertheless, a good approximation is shown in Table 11.1.

Oxygen + water. Battino s recommended four constant equation from an earlier work (5 ) was used to represent the low temperature (273-348 K) mole fraction oxygen solubility values. The data determined at the Battelle Memorial Institute laboratories in the early 1950 s (10,12) were used to estimate the one atmosphere oxygen pressure solubilities at higher temperatures. The data sets were combined in a linear regression to obtain the parameters of the three constant tentative equation for the solubility between 350 and 600 K (Table V, Figure 9). 

In a PEMFC, the power density and efficiency are limited by three major factors (1) the ohmic overpotential mainly due to the membrane resistance, (2) the activation overpotential due to slow oxygen reduchon reaction at the electrode/membrane interface, and (3) the concentration overpotential due to mass-transport limitations of oxygen to the electrode surfaced Studies of the solubility and concentration of oxygen in different perfluorinated membrane materials show that the oxygen solubility is enhanced in the fluorocarbon (hydrophobic)-rich zones and hence increases with the hydrophobicity of the membrane. The diffusion coefficient is directly related to the water content of the membrane and is thereby enhanced in membranes containing high water content the result indicates that the aqueous phase is predominantly involved in the diffusion pathway. ...

Transport properties of oxygen are better in the fluorinated polymer than in aqueous electrolytes. Although the diffusion coefficient is lower than in water, the oxygen solubility is largely enhanced so that the transport parameter D + c02 is higher than in water (160, 161). 

Interaction between temperature and type of gas (b35) since oxygen solubility in water is temperature dependent. 

The rate of dissolution is limited by oxygen availability rather than by cyanide concentration. When oxygen solubility is reduced by water salinity or by consumption by ore constituents such as sulfide minerals, enrichment of the air with oxygen or addition of hydrogen or calcium peroxide improves leaching kinetics and decreases cyanide consumption (10). 

Figure 2 illustrates corrosion behavior and oxygen solubility as a function of the salinity of the solution at a fixed temperature. It is to be noted that a small variation in salinity in the neighborhood of the normal 3.5% content of sea water has no effect on oxygen solubility and little effect on corrosion rate.
