Abstract:The electrode process of galena in diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) solution at pH 11.4 has been investigated using cyclic voltammetry, potentiostatic and chronopotentiometry. Electrodeposit of PbD2 on galena electrode surface can occur while the electrode potential is higher than -0.05V. The relationship between the current density caused by diffusion and reaction time has been ascertained, and the diffusion coefficient of DDTC on galena surface in DDTC solution is about 1. 12×10-6 cm2/s. A passive PbD2 film covers the surface of galena electrode.
Key words: electrode process; galena; electrochemistry of flotation
