The reduction process during the electrochemical production of titanium via electrolysis molten TiO 2 –SiO –Al O 3 –MgO–CaO slags has been investigated. A laboratory scale, electrolytic cell was designed to study effect concentration at ultra-high temperatures. Galvanostatic and potentiostatic experiments were performed results consistent with thermodynamic predictions using FactSage. We demons...

A flow injection system for the determination of selenium by electrochemical hydride generation and quartz tube atomic absorption spectrometry is described. The generator consists of an electrolytic flow-through cell with a concentric arrangement and a packed cathode made of particulated lead. The influences of sample flow rate, carrier gas flow rate and electrolysis current on the hydrogen sel...

The proposed linear electron-positron collider TESLA is based on 1.3 GHz superconducting niobium cavities for particle acceleration. For a center-of-mass energy of 500 GeV an accelerating field of 23.4 MV/m is required which is reliably achieved with a niobium surface preparation by chemical etching. An upgrade of the collider to 800 GeV requires an improved cavity preparation technique. In thi...

We have modeled the electric potential profile, across the membranes of the ganglion neuron and neuroblastoma cells. We considered the resting and action potential states, and analyzed the influence of fixed charges of the membrane on the electric potential of the surface of the membranes of these cells, based on experimental values of membrane properties. The ganglion neuron portrays a healthy...

The electrical response of an electrolytic cell in which the diffusion of mobile ions in the bulk is governed by a fractional diffusion equation of distributed order is analyzed. The boundary conditions at the electrodes limiting the sample are described by an integro-differential equation governing the kinetic at the interface. The analysis is carried out by supposing that the positive and neg...
