The effects of temperature, leaching time, Na2EDTA concentration and initial NaOH concentration on the leaching rates of lead and zinc were studied. The following optimized leaching conditions were obtained： liquid-to-solid ratio 5：1 mL/g, stirring speed 650 r/min, Na2EDTA concentration 0.12 mol/L, initial NaOH concentration 0.5 mol/L, leaching temperature 70 ℃, leaching time 120 min. Under the optimized conditions, the average leaching rates of lead, zinc, fluoride and chloride are 89.92%, 0.94%, 62.84% and 90.02%, respectively. The filtrate was used to electrowin lead powders. The average current efficiency of electrowinning is about 93% and lead content is higher than 98% under the conditions of temperature of 60 ℃, current density of 200 A/m2, H3PO4 concentration of 1.5 g/L, and lead ion concentration of above 5 g/L. The consumption of Na2EDTA and the direct current are about respectively 0.218 kg and 0.958 kW·h for per kilogram of lead powder.展开更多

By the investigation of rhenium concentration, sulphuric acid, alkali, ammonium sulphate, temperature and acidity of solution, it was found that reaming velocity was an optimal regime and electrolyte composition for an obtaining of high quality rhenium deposits from an alkaline electrolyte and acidic electrolyte. It was defined that the process of electrodeposition of rhenium in alkaline electrolyte is accompanied by chemical polarization and the electrodeposition of rhenium in acidic electrolyte goes gradually with the formation of intermediate films of sediments,展开更多

During the composite electrodeposition process, the hydrophobic PS microspheres were highly dispersed in the electrolyte with the help of a surfactant, and then co-deposited with Ni to form the film electrode. After removing the PS templates by annealing, a porous Ni film containing large amount of uniformly dispersed pores with narrow size distribution was obtained, and then applied as the electrode for the HER in an alkaline medium. As evidenced by the electrochemical analysis, the porous Ni film electrode exhibits higher catalytic activity as compared to a dense Ni film electrode and is superior to a Ni/Ru O2/Ce O2 commercial electrode. The effect of temperature on the catalytic properties of the porous Ni film electrode was also investigated; the activation energy was calculated as 17.26 k J/mol. The enhanced activity toward the HER was attributed to the improved electrochemical surface area and mass transportation facilitated by the high porosity of the synthesized Ni film electrode.展开更多
