Potential sweep and step experiments at microdisk electrodes, radius 4–40 μm, have been used to investigate the nucleation and growth of lithium metal, the anodic dissolution of lithium, the kinetics of the Li/Li+ couple, and the role of surface films in
SOCl2/LiAlCl4
. The kinetics of the Li/Li+ couple at freshly deposited Li are fast, and both deposition and dissolution of the metal occur with only small overpotentials. Indeed, under these conditions, the electrochemistry of the system is essentially simple, and the kinetics of the couple are fully described by the Butler‐Volmer equation. Experiments are described which allow the initial stages of film formation to be followed and the influence of such films on lithium deposition and dissolution to be defined. The relationship of these studies to earlier ones carried out at highly filmed lithium surfaces following prolonged contact with
SOCl2
(as in a battery) is discussed.
This paper discusses the advantages of corrosion inhibitor treatments for oil production applications. It reviews the current direction of legislation concerning the di scharge of oi 1 production chemical s into the environment. It details studies undertaken which show that many existing corrosion inhibitors are toxic towards the marine organisms tested. New chemistries have been developed which display excel 1 ent corrosion inhibition properties and which are significantly less toxic.See, for example: Silverman D. C., Corrosion, 44 (1988) 42.
