Attack of YBa2Cu3O6.8 by acidic aqueous solutions

The dissolution of YBa2Cu3O6.8 in acidic aqueous solutions was studied at 298 K as a function of pH, nature and concentration of present anions and time, t. In the range 2.0 ≤ pH ≤ 4.0, dissolution is congruent and proceeds to completion; dissolution profiles are deceleratory and comply with a contr...

description The dissolution of YBa2Cu3O6.8 in acidic aqueous solutions was studied at 298 K as a function of pH, nature and concentration of present anions and time, t. In the range 2.0 ≤ pH ≤ 4.0, dissolution is congruent and proceeds to completion; dissolution profiles are deceleratory and comply with a contracting volume rate law up to t0.5. The rate of dissolution, which is limited by slow surface reactions, decreases with increasing pH; the kinetic order on proton concentration is a fractional and variable number. At higher pH values, dissolution is arrested at intermediate conversion values. In these cases, congruent dissolution is followed by the precipitation of less soluble solid phases which form a passive layer.
