Electroanalytical study for the rotating cylinder electrode in molten LiCl-KCl eutectic salt (58– 42mol%) containing MgCl2 (0.1wt%) at 600°C is conducted. The researches of rotating cylinder electrode have been widely conducted for the century. The advantage of the electrode is that it can mitigate the unintended natural convection by providing a controlled diffusion boundary layer thickness. However, the experimental data for the high temperature molten salts is barely existed. The study adopts the electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry for the static cell and linear sweep voltammetry for the dynamic cell to calculate the diffusion coefficient. The peak current density and limiting current density are measured according to the scan rate. In order to evaluate the mass transfer under hydrodynamic flow condition, the revolution speeds of cylindrical electrode are varied from 10 rpm to 500 rpm which are corresponded to the Reynolds number of 4 and 185 respectively. The flow regime covers from the laminar to semi-turbulent regime (transient) as the critical Reynolds number Recrit is 200. The limiting current density shows a linear trend with the revolution speed and agrees well with the existing mass transfer correlations. For the extended flow regime, a new mass transfer correlation is suggested as the relation of non-dimensional numbers (Sh = aRebScc) based on the dimensionless analysis.
순환전압전류법을 사용하여 전류-전압 곡선을 측정하였다. 전기화학적 특성과 금속의 표면상태간의 관계는 전자현미경(SEM)을 사용하여 조사하였다. 그리고 순환전압전류법에 의한 전기화학적 측정은 3 전극 시스템을 사용하였다. 측정 범위는 초기 포텐셜에서 -1350 mV까지 환원시키고, 연속적으로 1650 mV까지 산화시키고, 다시 초기지점으로 환원시켜 측정하였다. 스캔속도는 50, 100, 150, 200 및 250 mV/s를 선정하였다. 그 결과, 부식억제로 모노에탄올아민(MEA)을 사용하여 금속의 C-V 특성은 순환전압전류법으로부터 산화 전류에 기인한 비가역 공정으로 나타났다. 부식억제제로 MEA을 사용하였을 경우에는 전해질의 농도가 증가할수록 확산계수가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 구리의 SEM 이미지를 보면, 전해질 농도를 증가시키면 표면부식은 증가하였다. 부식억제제로 1.0×10-3M MEA를 첨가시키면, 전해질 농도 0.1 N의 경우 확산계수가 상대적으로 커서 부식억제 효과가 적었다.
In this study, we investigated the C-V diagrams and metal surface related to the electrochemistry characterization of metal(nickel, SUS-304). We determined electrochemical measurement by using cyclic voltammetry with a three-electrode system. A measuring range was reduced from initial potential to -1350mV, continuously oxidized to 1650 mV and measured to the initial point. The scan rate were 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mV/s. As a result, the C-V characterization of metal using N,N-dimethylacetamide and N,N-dimethylformamide inhibitors appeared irreversible process caused by the oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram. After adding organic corrosion inhibitors, adsorption film constituted, and the passive phenomena happened. According to the results by cyclic voltammetry method, it was revealed that the addition of inhibitors containing amide functional group enhances the corrosion resistance properties.

As a result, the C-V characterization of nickel using ethanolamine and ethylethanolamine inhibitor appeared irreversible process caused by the oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram. After adding ethanolamine compound additive, adsorption film constituted, and the passive phenomena happened. According to the results by cyclic voltammetry method, it was revealed that the effect of the electrochemistry characterization of nickel depends on ethanolamine structure interaction to adsorption complex.
