Abstract
ZnCr2O4 was evaluated as a new sidewall material in the electrolysis of NaF19.69-KF25.84-(AlF3)54.47 bath at 800 °C by both static and dynamic corrosion tests. The results showed that the composition and microstructure of ZnCr2O4 were stable after the tests, and the ZnCr2O4 possessed excellent corrosion resistance with the corrosion rate <0.028 cm/a, which was significantly lower than that of a common inert material NiFe2O4 (1.2 cm/a). The outstanding corrosion resistance of ZnCr2O4 can not only owe to the low electronegativity of Zn and Cr elements in the spinel structure, but also because of its thermodynamically stability under the chemical corrosion and reduction environments.
