Abstract:Mass transfer is an important link in the entire electrode process. To investigate mass transfer process by diffusion of trivalent rare Earth ions in molten LiCl-KCl system, the electroreduction mechanism, mass transfer kinetics and diffusion layer thicknesses of RE(III) (RE = La and Pr) were studied by a series of electrochemical methods. It was found that RE(III) underwent one-step reduction reaction with the exchange of 3-electron and reversible processes. The diffusion coefficients (D) of RE(III) and limit… Show more
