✦ Synopsis
The anodic dissolution of W in NaOH solutions of pH 13-14 has been studied . The opencircuit potential becomes more noble with time up to a period of about 15 h ; thereafter it remains constant . The Tafel slope of the current/potential curves is the same regardless of pre-treatment of the electrode, but the Tafel lines coincide only after polarization for longer than 15 min . The value of az (transfer coefficient x valency change) was 0-74, and the order of the dissolution reaction, with respect to OH -, was 1 . From these two values the variation of the steady-state open-circuit potential with pH could be calculated, assuming that the cathodic reaction is due to oxygen reduction and that it is diffusion-controlled . The valency of the dissolved W was 6-0 . The dissolution of WOs in NaOH was also studied. The rate-determining step for W dissolution considered the most likely is WO, + OH--+ WO, + H'' + 2 e-.
Resume-Etude de la dissolution anodique de W daps des solutions de NaOH de pH 13 a 14 .
Le potential en circuit ouvert croft avec le temps pendant environ 15 b, puis reste constant . La pente de Tafel des courbes courant/potentiel est Ia memo quel que soit le pretraitement de ,'electrode, mais les droites de Tafel no coincident qu'apres one polarisation de plus de 15 min . La valour do a . z (coefficient de transfert x changement de valence) a ete trouvee 0,74 et l'ordre de la reaction de dissolution par rapport a OH-, egal a 1 . A partir de ces deux valeurs, on peut calculer la variation du potentiel stationnaire en circuit ouvert avec le pH, en admettant que la reaction cathodique est due a la reduction d'oxyg8ne et qu'elle est controlee par la diffusion . La valence de W dissous est 6,0 . La dissolution de WO 3 Bans NaOH a aussi ete etudiee . L'etape regulatrice de la vitesse consideree comme la plus vraisemblable pour la dissolution de W est : WO . +OH--+ WO. +H++2e-.
