ABSTRACT
The results of the investigation of chloride ions oxidation during the oxygen bubbling through zinc and alkali metal (Na, K) chloride melts at 600 °C are presented. The amount of gaseous chlorine produced depends on the molar ratio of chlorides in the mixture. It is shown that the amount of released chlorine is directly proportional to the values of the effective polarizing force of the cations. The kinetic characteristics of chlorine formation were determined and calculated: the reaction order, reaction rate constants, and the activation energy values. Particle size, chemical composition, and surface area for some samples of ZnO were determined.
KEY WORDS
