CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF ELECTROCRYSTALLIZATION IN FUSED SALTS. APPLICATION TO THE PARTICULAR CASE OF ZIRCONIUM (in French)

Journal Article · · Mem. sci. rev. met.
OSTI ID:4834833
An attempt is made to establish the validity of H. Fischer's theories on electrocrystallization in fused salts. The electrolysis of a mixture of sodium chloride and zirconium tetrafluoride is studied, the metal deposited at the cathode being obtained in the solid state. To connect the crystalline forms observed with electrode mechanisms, the structure of the electrolyte which contains stable complex anions is studied, and the cathodic and anodic polarization curves are plotted with the aid of a photographic recording method, which uses a silver-wire reference electrode. The experimental results can be interpreted by Fischer's theories. Finally, the experimental conditions which should permit the production of a continuous deposit are derived. (auth)
