Abstract:
This paper studies the Mo-H
2O system, W-H
2O system balanced reaction and
εT-pH calculation formula based on the main electrochemical reaction and the thermo-dynamic data of the reaction component in Mo(W)-H
2O system.The Mo-H
2O system and W-H
2O system potential -pH diagram are mapped out through the thermodynamic calculation at room temperature(298 K).In the graphics, the thermo-dynamic stable region of various substances forms of tungsten and molybdenum under different pH conditions and the possibility of chemical reaction are indicated.The electrochemical properties difference of MoO
42-and WO
42- are pointed out.The result shows that the potential value of W-H
2O system is significantly lower than the value of Mo-H
2O system.The phenomenon of the potential value differences can be used to select the appropriate reducing agent for selective reduction.The separation of tungsten and molybdenum can be efficiently practiced.
