The study aims to investigate how concentrated lithium sulfate solutions influence the electrochemical dissolution of iron.
Studied electrochemical oxidation of iron electrode in Li2SO4 solutions ranging from 0.1 M to 2.5 M.
Measured dissolved Fe2+ concentration as a function of lithium sulfate concentration.
Higher concentrations of Li2SO4 significantly increased the dissolution rate of iron.
Electrochemical analysis showed correlation between electrolyte concentration and Fe2+ formation.
Abstract
The electrochemical oxidation of an iron electrode to form dissolved Fe2+ was studied in a range of aqueous concentrated Li2SO4 solutions from 0.1 M to 2.5 M. The aim was...
