Dissolution Kinetics of Nickel Ferrite in Amino Poly Carboxylic Acids

抄録

Nickel ferrite is one of the important corrosion products of PHWR's where Monel and carbon steel are used as the constructional materials in the primary heat transport system. The dissolution of synthetically prepared nickel ferrite was studied in low concentrations (<10 mmol/l) of HEDTA, DTPA, NTA and HIDA. The dependence of the dissolution rate on the ligand concentration was found to be langmuirian in all these cases. The effect of the addition of low concentrations of citric acid, oxalic acid, ascorbic acid and Fe(II)-ligand complex, individually, to each of the above chelating agents was also studied. The effect of pH and temperature on the dissolution rate was determined.
