Electrochemical Deposition and Dissolution of Thallium from Sulfate Solutions

Abstract: The electrochemical behavior of thallium was studied on glassy carbon electrodes in sulfate solutions. Cyclic voltammetry was used to study the kinetics of the electrode processes and to determine the nature of the limiting step of the cathodic reduction of thallium ions. According to the dependence of current on stirring rate and scan rate, this process is diffusion limited. Chronocoulometry showed that the electrodeposition can be performed with a current efficiency of up to 96% in the absence of oxygen.

“…Two peaks occurred, one at the reduction of Tl + to Tl and one at the oxidation of Tl to Tl + , at the potential of -1.0 V/NHE and -0.3 V/NHE, respectively. At -0.65 V/NHE, a small peak corresponds to the reduction of oxygen [18], which is inevitable. The curves drop at -0.8 V/NHE, which corresponds to the beginning of the reduction of Tl + to a Tl deposit.…”

“…Tl(I) can be removed from wastewater in a variety of ways [26], including precipitation [27], solvent extraction [28,29], and electrochemical deposition [30,31]. These approaches suffer from removal efficiency, high operating costs, and high energy consumption.…”

“…However, it is quite difficult to obtain high-purity thallium by electrolysis due to the similarity of chemical properties and very close position of electrode potentials of thallium and other metal impurities. The authors demonstrated previously [8][9][10][11][12] the principles of possible electrochemical thallium refining through the dissolution stage of anodically-deposited thallium(III) oxide.…”
