The selection and preparation of electrolyte in electrorefining indium were investigated, and the effect of component of electrolytic solution on electrolytic refining was also studied. Compared with electrolyte of InCl3-HCl, electrolyte of In2（SO4）3-H2SO4 has higher stability and lower corrosivity, electrolytic solution can be heated at low temperature, and bath is open and simple, which makes operation more convenient. The results show that the voltage can be kept at 0.30.5 V, and the content of indium can exceed 99.999% when the content of indium（Ⅲ） ion and sodium chloride are 80120 g/L. The bench-scale test of electrolysis was carried out, and the product of indium reaches the national standard of 99.999% high purity indium.展开更多

In this' system the electrolyte has a pecularity that not merely can the LiClO_4 provide ionic carriers, but also catalyze the crosslinking reaction without adding an usual curing agent. The effect of salt content and degree of crosslinking on the viscoelasticity and ionic conductivity were studied. Both WLF and VTF equations were used to treat the experimental data in order to elucidate the mechanism of ionic conduction. It was found that the ionic conductivity of the system is carded out through the segmental motion mechanism. However, the data must be treated with care. For example, in evaluating WLF parameters, the contribution concerned with ionic carrier generation with temperature to the conductivity must be differentiated from that concerned with segmental motion. Besides, the temperature range suitable to WLF equation must also be considered. For VTF equation, it might be inapplicable ff the temperature is too low and close to the glass transition temperature of the specimen. Further study is needed in order to have a quantitative information on the limitation of these equations.展开更多

The network is composed of diglycidyl ether of polyethylene glycol (DGEPEG) and triglycidyl ether of glycerol (TGEG), wherein LiCIO_4 was incorporated and acts as both the ionic carrier and the curing catalyst. As the relaxation time is informative to the segmental mobility, which is known to be essential for ionic conductivity, the average relaxation times of the specimens were determined through master curve construction. Experimental results showed that the salt concentration, molecular weight of PEG in DGEPEG and DGEPEG/TGEG ratio have profound effect on the relaxation time of the specimen. Among these factors , the former reinforces the network chains, leading to lengthen the relaxation time, whereas the latter two are in favour of the chain flexibility and show an opposite effect. The findings was rationalized in terms of the free volume concept.展开更多
