ELECTROCHEMICAL STUDIES IN THE SYNTHESIS OF N-F COMPOUNDS

Abstract

The goal of the work is to determine the mechanism by which electrochemical fluorination of ammonium and hydrazinium salts occur in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (AHF). A major portion of the work to date was done to (1) develop a suitable reference electrode, (2) construct an HF handling system for preparing and maintaining AHF at low electrical conductivities, and (3) select a suitable working electrode. The Hg/Hg2F2 electrode satisfies the requirements for a reference electrode, and Monel (alloy 400) satisfies the requirements for a working electrode. Monel is now being used as an anode and Hg/Hg2F2 as a reference electrode in studying the electrolysis of NH4F in AHF.
