Abstract:
Impedance measurements have been performed in molten PbCl2—KCl at 400°C to investigate the mechanism of In(III) reduction and sulphide ion oxidation. In(III) reduction is purely diffusion controlled and represented by a Warburg impedance. The diffusion coefficient obtained for In(III) is D = 0.49 × 10?5 cm2s?1. The first oxidation step of sulphide is rapid and also diffusion controlled.
