Corrosion and Electrochemistry of Zinc
Author: Xiaoge Gregory Zhang
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1475798776
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
Humankind's use of zinc stretches back to antiquity, and it was a component in some of the earliest known alloy systems. Even though metallic zinc was not "discovered" in Europe until 1746 (by Marggral), zinc ores were used for making brass in biblical times, and an 87% zinc alloy was found in prehistoric ruins in Transylvania. Also, zinc (the metal) was produced in quantity in India as far back as the thirteenth century, well before it was recognized as being a separate element. The uses of zinc are manifold, ranging from galvanizing to die castings to electronics. It is a preferred anode material in high-energy-density batteries (e.g., Ni/Zn, Ag/Zn, ZnJair), so that its electrochemistry, particularly in alkaline media, has been extensively explored. In the passive state, zinc is photoelectrochemically active, with the passive film displaying n-type characteristics. For the same reason that zinc is considered to be an excellent battery anode, it has found extensive use as a sacrificial anode for the protection of ships and pipelines from corrosion. Indeed, aside from zinc's well-known attributes as an alloying element, its widespread use is principally due to its electrochemical properties, which include a well-placed position in the galvanic series for protecting iron and steel in natural aqueous environments and its reversible dissolution behavior in alkaline solutions.

Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry No. 6
Author: J. O'M. Bockris
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1468430009
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
In the last decade, the evolution of electrochemistry away from concern with the physical chemistry of solutions to its more fruitful goal in the study of the widespread consequences of the transfer of electric charges across interphases has come to fruition. The turning of technology away from an onward rush, regardless, to progress which takes into account repercussions of techno logical activity on the environment, and the consequent need for a reduction and then termination of the injection of CO into 2 the atmosphere (greenhouse effect), together with a reckoning with air and water pollution in general, ensures a long-term need for advances in a basic knowledge of electrochemical systems, an increased technological use of which seems to arise from the environmental necessities. But a mighty change in attitude needs to spread among electro chemists (indeed, among all surface chemists) concerning the terms and level in which their field is discussed. The treatment of charge transfer reactions has often been made too vaguely, in terms, it seemed, of atom transfer, with the electron-transfer step, the essence of electrochemistry, an implied accompaniment to the transfer of ions across electrical double layers. The treatment has been in terms of classical mechanics, only tenable while inadequate questions were asked concerning the behavior of the electron in the interfacial transfer. No process demands a more exclusively quantal discussion than does electron transfer.

Introductory Electrochemistry and Related Applications
Author: Maurice O. Iwunze
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1403399417
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
This monograph is an introductory text of electrochemistry for students of Science, Technology and Engineering at the very elementary level (Second year University students and their equivalent counterparts in Technical and Teachers Training Colleges). It may also be used as a refresher for upper level students at these institutions. The science of electrochemistry has undergone very dramatic changes in the past fifty years and its slow development at an earlier stage was due mainly to the fact that Nernstian equilibrium treatment of the subject does not tell the whole truth about electrochemical systems and their reactions. Application of kinetics to the study of electrochemistry has accelerated the pace and its eventual recognition as an important branch of science in its own right. Despite this recognition, elementary textbooks at the first Year University degree program levels have tended to treat this branch of science with cursory and utmost brevity. The unfortunate consequence of this is that students are not fully aware of the important technology that goes along with electrochemistry. These students are, perhaps, aware only of the Nernstian relationship and just the vague notion of accumulator cells. The aim of this monograph therefore is both to enlighten and to heighten the inquisitive and, I dare say, enthusiastic minds of the young students who may wish to know more about the important fundamentals and application of this branch of science. Chapters one and two of this short monograph are merely a revision and recapitulation of the basic information. Chapter three discusses the application of the electrochemical theory. Different battery systems, their manufacture and assembly are discussed. Fuel cell technology is also discussed. The very important analytical techniques, potentiometry/ion selective electrode is briefly mentioned. Electrosynthesis of organic compounds, popularized by Manuel Baizer, after his development of electrohydrodimerization of acetonitrile to adiponitrile (a process known as the "Monsanto Process) is discussed. Electroplating and corrosion, important aspects in which electrochemical knowledge is vital, are also discussed. Application of electrochemical knowledge far transcends these aforementioned fields. They go into electrorefining, electrowinning, electromachining, electrodeposition, electroforming, etc. The discussion of these latter applications are beyond the scope of this monograph and their mention only serves to stress the very importance and extent to which electrochemical knowledge can be applied. The writing of this monograph was necessitated by the very welcome inquisitiveness of my first year degree students at the Federal University of Technology, Yola, Nigeria, whose ferocious thirst for knowledge was an incentive. I sincerely hope that their knowledge of this branch of science will be both widened and accelerated for a future pursuit after reading this monograph.
