12. Give an explanation about Electrochemical methods of obtaining germanium.

Germanium — light gray metal with a density of 5.32 g/cm3 and a melting point of 936° C. Its atomic weight of 72.6, and the electrochemical equivalent of 0.67 g/(Ah). Dissolves in strong sulphuric and nitric acids and in Aqua Regia. Sonochemistry polycrystalline germanium is supplied. Galvanic deposition of germanium, is a semiconductor, can be used in the electronic industry. Research B. V. Ostroumova, deposition of germanium is made from a non-aqueous electrolyte consisting of 5% solution germanium tetrachloride GeCl4 in ethylene glycol, at a temperature of 50-60° C and a cathodic current density 20 A/dm2.

As anodes use graphite plates. The mode germanium is deposited as a dark grey coating with the current efficiency about 2%. The deposition rate is 1 µm/h. There is also guidance on getting a very thin layer of electroplated coatings of germanium from an aqueous electrolyte containing 120 g/l of sodium hydroxide. There is a description of aqueous electrolyte with the following composition (g/l) and mode: Sulfide GeS2 germanium........... 20 Caustic potash KOH............... 40 Sodium sulfide Na2S............. 12 Temperature, °C................ 30 The current density, A/dm2........... 2,5

13. Tell about electrochemical methods of producing niobium

Niobium has a density of 8.55 g/cm3 and a melting point of 2500° C. the Atomic weight of niobium to 92.9. Stan-convenience, electrode potential In Nb -1,1 and electrochemical equivalent of 1.15 g/(A-h). The metal niobium well soluble in mixture of nitric and hydrofluoric acids when heated. For galvanic deposition of niobium Prof. M. A., Shluger suggested electrolyte based on niobium acid. For composing the electrolyte of the niobic acid is dissolved in hydrofluoric acid, and then introduced the other components. The electrolyte, according to the source components, has the following composition (g/l) and mode: Niobium acid............. 15-17 Hydrofluoric acid ............ 120-240 Ammonium fluoride ....... . ... . 15-20 Formaldehyde................ 7-15 Temperature, °C .............. 50±10 The current density, A/dm2 ......... 15±5 The electrolyte requires a preliminary study for 2 hours. Shiny coating change the shade from light gray to dark gray with increasing temperature of the electrolyte and current density. The current output is about 0.1%. Galvanically niobium coating can be used in the production of superconductors. The second electrolyte allows to besiege niobium* from non-aqueous solutions of pentachloride of niobium and compiled on the basis of organic solvents. For preparation of the electrolyte pentachloride, niobium, weighed at the rate of 10-15 g/l of electrolyte, dissolved in benzene with the formation of the solution orange-red color. Then the solution was added dropwise amyl, butyl or propyl acetate until complete dissolution of niobium pentachloride, as indicated by the color change of the solution to light yellow. As the last component of the injected methanol, after which the electrolyte becomes colorless and transparent. The electrolyte for the source components has the following composition and mode of operation: Pentachloride, niobium, g/l..........10-15 Benzene, ml/l................. 500-600 Amylacetate, ml/l ........: . . . . 20-30 Methanol, ml/l............. 300-500 All solvents should be thoroughly drained, and the prepared electrolyte is maintained for some time for the formation of complex compounds, are able to discharge at the cathode. The prepared electrolyte is very stable to hydrolysis in air. The process of deposition of niobium is conducted at a temperature of 45 ± 5° C and a cathodic current density of 10 =t 5 mA/cm2, using as niobium anodes and cathodes — iron. The area ratio of cathode to anode 1:7. From said electrolyte in the electrolysis for 2 h get a shiny surface.
