✦ Synopsis
The electrochemical behaviour of magnesium ions was studied in molten CaClrNaCl at 550°C by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and chronopotentiometry.
We observed that the electrode process of the reduction of Mg(II) on a tungsten electrode is quasireversible.
The values of the transfer coefficient, tl, and the charge-transfer rate constant, k", were calculated by means of the logarithmic analysis of the convoluted curves. Those values were compared with the ones obtained from the steady-state current-potential curves. On the other hand, the diffusion coefficient of the Mg(II) ions, has also been determined by different electrochemical techniques, giving values ranging from 7.2 to 9.9 x 10e6 cm2 s-'.
