KINETICS OF DISSOLUTION OF CR(OH)3 AND AL(OH)3 IN SULFURIC ACID

Abstract
This work is a continuation of studies related to the kinetics of dissolution of oxides and hydroxides of aluminum (III) and chromium (III). Earlier studies have shown that oxides and hydroxides of these metals are better soluble in sulfuric acid than in hydrochloric, nitric, oxalic and phosphoric. This article presents experimental studies on the effect of sulfuric acid concentration on the rate of heterogeneous reaction of chromium (III) and aluminum (III) hydroxides. It is established that the rate of dissolution of hydroxides increases with increasing concentration of sulfuric acid. Moreover, the rate of transition of aluminum (III) ions from hydroxide is higher than the rate of transition of chromium (III) ions, under the same conditions. To calculate the main kinetic parameters, a model of a chain mechanism was selected. The dissolution simulation was carried out using the mathematical computer program MathCad. The need for real models is associated with the need to optimize ore leaching technologies, regulate the physico-chemical processes of oxide dissolution, scale etching and removal of deposits from thermal power equipment. Experimental studies have made it possible to determine that the rate of dissolution is limited by the formation and subsequent transition of surface compounds of the form: into an electrolyte solution. Such studies will help to create a generalized mechanism for the heterogeneous process of dissolution of aluminum and chromium oxides in acidic media.

STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF ANIONS ON THE DISSOLUTION RATE OF CO2O3 AND CR(OH)3

Abstract
Сhromium compounds are widely used in industry, therefore, studies related to the study of the process of dissolution of oxides in various environments, including aggressive ones, are relevant. Currently, a huge amount of experimental material has been accumulated on the dissolution of metal oxides and hydroxides. Despite this, the effect of anions on the dissolution rate of these compounds has not yet been sufficiently studied, models have not been developed and generalized dissolution mechanisms have not been found. This article presents experimental studies on the effect of nitrate and sulfate ions on the dissolution rate of chromium (III) oxide and hydroxide. It was found that chromium (III) oxide and hydroxide dissolve better in sulfuric acid in the presence of nitrate ions than sulfate ions. Moreover, chromium (III) hydroxide dissolves better in acids with the addition of anions than chromium (III) oxide. Based on the data obtained, using the equation of the chain mechanism (the Barton-Stransky model), we found the functional dependence of the specific rate of dissolution on the concentration of anions in an acidic medium. With the help of the mathematical computer program MathCad, models of the dissolution of chromium oxide phases were selected. A scheme of the mechanism of the heterogeneous process of dissolution of chromium oxide and hydroxide in acidic media was proposed.
