Abstract
Solubilities of various metal oxides in molten Li/K carbonates
have been measured at 650°C under carbon dioxide atmosphere. It is
found that the solubility of NiO and PbO decreases with increasing
lithium mole fraction and decreasing CO2 partial pressure. On the
other hand, the emf measurement shows opposite effects, i.e.,
decreasing CO2 pressure leads to more negative emf values but
increasing lithium content gives more positive emf values. This
contradiction is explained by means of a complex formation model.
The possible species for lead are proposed to be [Pb(CO3)2]-2
and/or [Pb(CO3) 3]-4. A similar complex chemistry for nickel oxide
dissolution might be expected.
