Effect Of Boric Acid On Corrosion And Electrochemical Performance Of Pb-0.08% Ca-1.1% Sn Alloys Containing Cu, As, And Sb Impurities For Manufacture Of Grids Of Lead-Acid Batteries, Said Salih, Ahmed Gad-Allah, Ashraf Abd El-Wahab, Hamid Abd Elrahman
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
The electrochemical performance of lead-acid batteries made of Pb--Ca--Sn alloys with and without 0.1% of each of Cu, As, and Sb individually and combined in 4.0 M H_2SO_4 in the absence and presence of 0.4 M H_3BO_3 was studied. Both impurities and H_3BO_3 were found to reduce the corrosion rate. Cyclic voltammetry revealed that the presence of impurities or H_3BO_3 significantly retarded the formation of large crystal PbSO_4. H_3BO_3 increased the rates of oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions for all alloys. Impedance measurement was used to quantify the amounts of PbSO_4 and PbO in the initial stage of the oxidation. …

Solutions of salicyclic, ascorbic, and citric acids were reacted with boric acid, followed by NaH_2PO_4. The products, triphosphateborate ester of salicylic acid (1), orthosphateborate ester of ascorbic acid (2), triphosphateborate ester of ascorbic acid (3), and orthosphateborate ester of citric acid (4), were flash precipitated with cold acetone and characterised by microanalysis, thermal analysis, FT-IR, Raman, ^{11}B NMR, ^{31}P MAS NMR, and mass spectroscopic techniques. Analytical results indicated the presence of --C--O--B--O--P-- linkages with the attached phosphate groups varying between orthophosphate and triphosphate, depending on the starting material. The biomolecules studied in this work may serve as models in the …
