Abstract: | The electrochemical behaviour of cobalt in molten alkali nitrates in the temperature range from 141 to 321°C has been investigated. At lower temperatures the metal dissolves as Co(II); the oxidation product at higher temperatures is Co3O4. Nitrogen oxides are also formed. Passivation and localized corrosion occur under definite anode potential, Co(II) concentration and temperature conditions. These effects have been studied by non-stationary measurements. Co(II) dissolved in the melt can be electrodeposited either on cobalt or platinum cathodes. |
