The electrolytic cell features a top inserted graphite anode and a cathode, Mg-Pb alloy, placed at the bottom of the cell to reduce recombination of magnesium and chlorine in the inter-electrode region. The process involved the electrolysis Of M902 to form an Mg-Pb alloy that is heavier than the electrolyte and a subsequent refining of the alloy to obtain electrolytic grade magnesium. To achieve metallic magnesium production rate with the present cell, that is comparable with the conventional methods, higher current densities have to be used with the present system. The effects of current density on the cell performance have been determined in the present study.

Processing of porous TiNi alloys using magnesium as space holder
Aydogmus, Tarik; Bor, Sakir (Elsevier BV, 2009-06-10)
Slightly Ni-rich, chemically homogeneous porous TiNi alloys having porosities in the range 59-81% have been produced using magnesium powder as pore forming agent. TiNi in the form of austenite, apart from a small amount of martensite, was the only phase present in the product. The processed alloys exhibited interconnected open pores spherical in shape and with an average pore size around 400 mu m. Elastic modulus values observed to extend from 0.5 to 9 GPa depending on porosity content were comparable to th...
Electrolytic magnesium production and its hydrodynamics by using an Mg-Pb alloy cathode
Demirci, Goekhan; Karakaya, İshak (Elsevier BV, 2008-10-06)
Physical interaction of magnesium and chlorine was minimized by collecting magnesium in a molten Ph cathode at the bottom of the electrolyte and placing anode at the top where the chlorine gas was evolved. Thus the magnesium losses associated with the formation of suspending droplets and fine magnesium particles were eliminated and current losses were mainly due to the recombination reaction of dissolved magnesium and chlorine. Current yield changed by changing the tip angle of the conical anode. It was due...
Synthesis of a regular polymer containing pseudo-polyether cages
Cihaner, A; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Elsevier BV, 2005-04-20)
A new compound consisting of 2-thienyl units linked by polyether bridge has been synthesized and its electrochemical polymerization was performed via constant potential electrolysis (CPE) in an electrolytic solution containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF(6)) dissolved in CH3CN. Chemical polymerization was carried out using FeCl3 as oxidizing agent. It is found that both methods gave the same polymer product without any cleavage of the polyether bridge between thiophene (Th) rings. Al...
Finding optimal Fe/Ba ratio to obtain single phase BaFe12O19 prepared by ammonium nitrate melt technique
Topal, Ugur; Ozkan, Husnu; Dorosinskii, Lev (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-31)
In the present work, the magnetic properties and the phase composition of barium ferrite BaFe12O19 powders prepared by the ammonium nitrate melt technique with Fe/Ba ratios varying from 2 to 13 was investigated. We observed that BaFe2O4 phase is formed at low values of Fe/Ba ratios (2-6) and alpha-Fe2O3 phase is formed at high values of Fe/Ba ratio as secondary phases. BaFe2O4 phase could be easily eliminated from the structure by washing the annealed powders with diluted HCI.HCI-washing is not effective fo...
Hydrogen generation from hydrolysis of sodium borohydride using Ru(0) nanoclusters as catalyst
Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2005-12-08)
Sodium borohydride is stable in aqueous alkaline solution, however, it hydrolyses in water to hydrogen gas in the presence of suitable catalyst. By this way hydrogen can be generated safely for the fuel cells. Generating H-2 catalytically from NaBH4 solutions has many advantages: NaBH4 solutions are nonflammable, reaction products are environmentally benign, rate of H-2 generation is easily controlled, the reaction product NaBO2 can be recycled, H-2 can be generated even at low temperatures. All of the cata...
