摘要
The galvanic reaction of metallic copper in Cr(VI)-laden aqueous solutions of varying pH was examined by in situ u.v.-visible spectrophotometry, rotating disc electrode chronopotentiometry and cyclic voltammetry. The galvanic reaction in 0.2 M H2SO4 solutions was pseudo first order in Cr(VI) concentration. Experiments with both magnetically stirred solutions and a copper mesh or a copper film in a rotating disc electrode configuration revealed the reaction to be diffusion-controlled with respect to Cr(VI) transport to the copper surface. Finally, cyclic voltammetry data in Cr(VI)-laden media of varying pH underline the important role of protons in the galvanic reaction.
