Abstract:Cyclic voltammetry has been done for Ni2+, Co2+, and Zn2+ in melts of diopside composition in the temperature range 1425 to 1575°C. Voltammetric curves for all three ions excellently match theoretical curves for uncomplicated, reversible charge transfer at the Pt electrode. This implies that the neutral metal atoms remain dissolved in the melt. The reference electrode is a form of oxygen electrode. Relative to that reference assigned a reduction potential of 0.00 volt, the values of standard reduction potential for the ions are E1 (Ni2+Ni0, diopside, 1500°C) = ?0.32 ± .01 V, E1 (Co2+Co0, diopside, 1500°C) = ?0.45 ± .02 V, and E1 (Zn2+Zn0, diopside, 1500°C) = ?0.53 ± .01 V. The electrode reactions are rapid, with first order rate constants of the order of 10?2 cm/sec. Diffusion coefficients were found to be 2.6 × 10?6 cm2/sec for Ni2+, 3.4 × 10?6 cm2/sec for Co2+, and 3.8 × 10?6 cm2/sec for Zn2+ at 1500°C. The value of E1 (Ni2+Ni0, diopside) is a linear function of temperature over the range studied, with values of ?0.35 V at 1425°C and ?0.29 V at 1575°C. At constant temperature the value of E1 (Ni2+Ni0, 1525°C) was not observed to vary with composition over the range CaO · MgO · 2SiO2 to CaO·MgO·3SiO2 or from 1.67 CaO·0.33MgO·2SiO2 to 0.5 CaO·1.5MgO·2SiO2. The value for the diffusion coefficient for Ni2+ decreased by an order of magnitude at 1525°C over the compositional range CaO · MgO · 1.25SiO2 to CaO · MgO · 3SiO2. This is consistent with a mechanism by which Ni2+ ions diffuse by moving from one octahedral coordination site to another in the melt, with the same Ni2+ species discharging at the cathode regardless of the SiO2 concentration in the melt.
