ABSTRACT

In this kind of work as is the study of antimony pollutant in the electro refining zinc must consider the range of solution according to the contaminant concentration to levels permitted by law and have no punishment for it for their respective international marketing.Our practical theoretical research includes the study of antimony contaminant in coating whose electrolysis mechanism are substances of graphite electrodes used.They give us results accompanied by a visible separation and it has been found the allowable amount of contaminant for this kind of work, whose economic technical result is of greater industrial importance.So we have related the amount of antimony of different concentrations starting each one of them at lower concentration.

1. PROJECT TITLE:

"STUDY OF ANTIMONY CONTAMINANT OF THE ELECTRO REFINATION OF ZINC2. INTRODUCTION:

For this final report of the Study of antimony contaminant in electro refining Zinc we have come to the understanding of the mechanisms of antimony pollutant zinc sulfate using graphite electrodes and other, ensuring that the passage of electric current through an electrolyte is accompanied by a visible separation of matter experimentally.This research is a theoretical study and practical study of antimony pollutant in the electro refining of zinc, in the steps required for this type of coating and obtain a technical result of greater economic importance. Further experience tells us that by using DC power is to see how many kinds of chemical side reactions are those occurring in the electrodes and the electrolyte. And relate the study in the electro refining zinc which provides each electrolyte solution and choose the best electrolytic conductor.OBJECTIVES:a) Overall objective:Study, define and optimize the parameters of antimony pollutant in the electro refining of zinc.b) Specific objective: Get Data antimony contaminant in the electro refination of zinc to be used in industry. To study the behavior of antimony contaminant in the electrolytic zinc coating having Consideration the nature of use of the

3. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:3.1 STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF IMPURITIES: WHAT HAPPENS IN THE ANODE? WHAT IS THISTOGETHER WITH ZINC DEPOSITING IN THE CATHODE?At the anode oxygen gas. At the cathode hydrogen gas and small amounts of impurities that were added to the solution for the study are probably deposited occurs. At the cathode electro refining of zinc occurs in conjunction with the release of hydrogen bubbles, not when impurities are present.3.2. DISSOCIATION.

Since the process is reversible electrolytic dissociation is characterized by the presence at the time of not only ion balance, but also of dissociated molecules. The relationship between the number of dissociated ions and molecules in the total number of molecules is called electrolyte dissociation3.3. LA DISSOCIATIN:

Make a link between reactions and dissociation. BA for a binary electrolyte (electrolyte is a binary one in which each molecule two ions), the ion concentrations CB + CA- (oCB2 + CA2) and concentration of CM dissociated molecules are linked in total concentration C electrolyte by equations.

CB+=CA-= CCM=(1-)CSubstituting these values into the expression for the equilibrium constant of dissolution have.

Kd= 3.4. DISSOCIATION PROCESS OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY:

It is known that dissociation processes are primary and secondary electrolysis is equal to the direct decomposition of the substances of the electrodes.Also react with each other products of electrolysis (to prevent contact cells diagram used) with solvent molecules (to avoid the electrolysis is carried out from the melt) and the electrode material (avoids using inert graphite electrodes, and another of platinum). These processes called secondary. In cases industry products mucos secondary processes (NaOH, KCl03, etc.) Is obtained. In the first case conductivities give primary and the first secondary conductivities even be established.4. MATERIALS AND METHODS:

For computer use the power of Chemical Engineering UNCP, recently acquired plant galvanic processes, specifically to make metallic coatings of lead, copper and zinc on metal objects whose productive capacity is semi-industrial and industrialWithin materials: voltmeter ammeter, power source (rectifier, transformer) Graphite Electrodes (Carbon) zinc sulfate solution 0.3 N sulfuric acid solution 0.3 N Phenolphthalein Other: 400ml glass, wire connection, crocodile clips, sandpaper filter paper.METHOD:For this kind of work the electric circle is verified, setting an equal distance from electrode to introduce at the same rate in all operations is electrochemical laboratory practice and study of antimony contaminant in zinc plating.The circuit is opened; the bucket fills in the amount indicated by entering very clean electrodes.

The experimental procedure performed by all sulfates with different electrolyte solutions, the study will be seen in the zinc electroplating. Which fills the passage of electric current to the defined level. The circuit is then closed and the resistor is actuated to obtain a value low amperage.This value (amperage) and the corresponding voltage is noted. It is observed carefully what happens in the electrodes and recorded. Then the circuit is disconnected. The solution of the bucket, to work in the other solution of the acid, and make the same current (amperage) is then changed. Voltages and observations of the electrodes eventually is added next to the cathode drops of phenolphthalein tasters and changes colors and other observations scores is observed.

6. DISCUSSION

Looking for new electrochemical parameters that are optimal for the study in polluting antimony zinc electrowinning having high reliability in industrial application is that this study are conducting antimony contaminant in the zinc plating is performed on the electrodes graphite (carbon) in the zinc sulphate electrolyte.The final report corresponding to the element whose experiments zinc electrolyte, volume, voltage, amperage and physical appearance gave results tables N 1 and 2 indicates where the gradient of voltage and amperage are for copper data positive and improve its bright in the following experiments to get a good appearance with antimony study contaminant in zinc plating.Se nota que para un pH de 3.5con un voltaje de 2.5 y un amperaje de 0.25 y en un tiempo de 2.3 min. Luego de varios ensayos se obtuvo una apariencia fsica brillante como nos solicita en el mercado internacional.As no study of antimony study contaminant in zinc plating in an electrolytic cell is necessary to obtain a more complete study that meet the specifications required for electrochemical industrial use of different metals special form of which there in our region such as zinc.

7. C0NCLUSIONS

the study parameters antimony contaminant in Electrolytic zinc coating, which allows us to obtain a product that meets the specifications required in electrochemistry and industry was found. data contaminate the zinc antimony for use in industry was obtained. The use of graphite electrodes with great certainty to display the items.

8. RECOMMENDATIONS

In this time of large continuous changes within the globe and globalization has to investigate a pollution is variable without which the data found are not real.So I would recommend at least two years for this kind of research.
