| Abstract | Samarium (III) and promethium (III) were studied by chronopotentiometry in a molten LiCl-KC1 eutectic. Tungsten electrodes were used to avoid alloying effects encountered with platinum electrodes. Adsorption phenomena were observed which prevented the study of any kinetic effects. The quarter wave potentials were measured as: Sm(III) = 0.95 ± 0.05 volts, Pm(III) = 1.21 ± 0.06 volts. The diffusion coefficients were calculated to be: Sm(III) = 2.5 x 10⁻⁶ ± 0.3cm²/sec, and Pm(III) = 2.2 x 10⁻⁶ ± 0.3cm²/sec. |
