Abstract:

Data from the electrolysis of the HF-N204, HF-NO, HF-N204-NO, HF-N20 and the HF-FNO systems are correlated. It is concluded that the presence of H2O in most systems, either as an initial component or as an electrolysis product, causes the same electrolysis products to form. New data on electrolyses in the HF-N2O, HF-FNO, and HF-NH3 systems are presented. It is suggested that the probable solubility of resulting F-N-O compounds in HF is accompanied by further electrolytic oxidation, thereby preventing their synthesis by electrolysis in HF. A new procedure for the electrolytic drying of HF, based on current reversal, has been developed and is described. The process of nickel dissolution at the anode during electrolysis is discussed, and a hypothesis explaining observed phenomena is presented.
