TRANSPORT NUMBERS IN PURE FUSED ZINC CHLORIDE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4150902
The transport numbers were measured for the cation and anion in molten zinc chloride using tracers. Due to non-ideal conditions, there was a pronounced tendency for the experiments to give too low values for t/sup +/ and t/sup -/. This tendency became stronger as the current density increased in the cell. An extrapolation to zero current gives t/sup +/ = 0.6 combination rat 0.1. There was no detectable temperature influence on the transport number in the region from 420 tained C to close to the boiling point, while measurements in the region below 420 tained C were uncertain due to the growth of dendrites of deposited zinc metal. No current transport by complex ions could be detected. (auth)
