Dissolution of Zr in a mixture of H2SO4 and HNO3
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Zr metal readily dissolved in a mixture of H2SO4 and HNO3. The solubility of Zr in a 10% mixture (96 wt% H2SO4:61 wt% HNO3 = 9:1 volumetric mixture) reached approximately 34 g/L. It was found that NO 2 + and H2SO4 are consumed to form NO2, NO+, and HSO 4 - upon the dissolution of Zr. Finally, two possible dissolution mechanisms are discussed.
