Learning outcomes: • to know the physical-chemical basis, conformities and features of processes of electrolysis of ionic melts are with the receipt of metals and non-metals; • to know cathodic and anodic processes in simple and complex electrolytes, compositions of the most used solutions and melts of electrolytes and modes of electrolysis; mechanism of electrochemical receipt of metals; • to be able to count a quantity of components for loading of electrolyzers and main parameters of electrolysis of melts (value of current and tension); specific charges of electric power.
Required prior and related subjects: • General chemical technology. • Theoretical electrochemistry. • Technical electrochemistry. • Corrosion of metal.
Summary of the subject: The structure of ionic melts. The electrical conductivity is of melts and their feature. Chemical reactions are in ionic melts. Features of electrode processes. The anode effect. Electrochemical obtaining of aluminum, magnesium, sodium: composition and features of electrolytes, electrode processes, and processes in an electrolyte. The electrochemical deposition of coverages from melts.
Assessment methods and criteria: • Writing reports from laboratory works, oral questioning (30%) • Final control (70%, control measure, examination): writing-verbal form (70%)
