Abstract
- To extract dysprosium (Dy) from LiCl–KCl molten salt, the electrochemical properties of Dy on liquid Sn electrode were explored by various electrochemical methods such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronopotentiometry (CP), and coulometric titration (CT). The Dy-Sn solid solution ((Dy-Sn)solution) was formed when the Dy was deposited on liquid Sn. The electrode process is a reversible reaction controlled by diffusion, and the diffusion coefficient of Dy(III) in LiCl–KCl molten salt was measured in the order of 10−5 cm2 s−1. CT and CP were used to assess the solubility and diffusion coefficient of Dy in liquid Sn, respectively. Meanwhile, the co-deposition of Dy(III) and Sn(II) was analyzed by CV and square wave voltammetry (SWV) to obtain the Dy-Sn intermetallic compounds, and four electrochemical signals related to Dy-Sn intermetallic compounds were observed. In addition, the feasibility of extracting Dy using liquid Sn electrode was verified by galvanostatic electrolysis (GE) and potentiostatic electrolysis (PE), and the products were characterized by XRD and SEM–EDS. The Dy-Sn alloys prepared by PE and GE consisted of DySn2 and (DySn3 + DySn2), respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
