The electrochemical behavior of molybdenum in acidic chloride solutions

Author

Abstract

"The anodic dissolution of Mo was studied in HC1-KC1 solutions at 25ºC. The apparent valences of Mo ions going into solution were approximately six. Lower values were obtained in HC1 solutions, with the most pronounced changes occurring with the higher concentrations. The resultant ions in solution were Mo-VI. The Mo surface in aqueous solutions appears to be covered with an oxide whose approximate composition is Mo₂O₅. The anodic dissolution is controlled by the oxidation of the surface oxide (Mo₂O₅) to MoO₃"--Abstract, page 1.
