Cyclic Voltammetric Studies of the Behavior of Pb-0.3%Ag-0.06%Ca Rolled Alloy Anode during and after Zinc Electrowinning
Abstract:
In this paper, electrochemical behaviour of Pb0.3%Ag0.06%Ca rolled alloy anode during the 6 days galvanostatic electrolysis in acid zinc sulphate electrolyte solution was investigated with Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) techniques. The phase composition of the anodic oxide layers during the electrolysis was observed using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results revealed that with the increasing electrolysis time, the anodic peak (PbPbSO4) is mainly present a rise trend in the first day electrolysis, thereafter, almostly keep a constant value. And the anodic peak (PbPbSO4) gradually moved in the positive direction while the anodic peak (PbSO4β-PbO2, PbOα-PbO2) strongly moved in the negative direction. The cathodic peak (β-PbO2 and α-PbO2PbSO4) and (PbO and PbSO4Pb) mainly present a rise trend and gradually moved in the negative direction. Besides, the corrosion phase of the anodic oxide layers mainly consist of PbSO4, Pb, α-PbO2 and PbS2O3. After electrolysis for 3 days, the major phase of the anodic oxide layers is PbSO4 with a few Pb phase. When the electrolysis reaches the 6th day, the major phase of the anodic oxide layers is also PbSO4 with a few α-PbO2 phase. The preferred growth orientation of PbSO4 is (021) ,(121) and (212) planes.
