In this work, the deposition of gold on copper substrates from solutions of HAuCl4.3H2O in 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium dicyanamide was studied. Deposition was carried out in open-circuit and under potentiostatic control at temperatures from 293 to 353 K, in normal atmosphere, with deposition conditions allowing water from atmospheric absorption up to 0.8 wt.%. Films of gold were obtained by both methods. Dep...
Recent research has suggested a number of applications for gold in fuel cells and related hydrogen fuel processing, which include coatings for light weight corrosion resistance bipolar plates and the incorporation of gold as catalyst to provide improvements in electrode conductivity, among others. This paper reports on the electroless deposition of gold on copper substrates from a HAuCl4.3H2O solution in 1-buty...

Black chromium is an important coating material used in solar thermal systems as a spectrally selective surface. This coating is usually obtained by electrodeposition from sulphate free chromium (VI) aqueous solutions which represent a health and environmental hazard due to the presence of Cr(VI), a known toxic and carcinogenic agent. Recent developments in green chemistry have shown that ionic liquids can be u...
In the present study, black chromium thin films were electrodeposited from a solution of 1-butyl-3- methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIm][BF4] ionic liquid containing trivalent chromium (Cr(III)). Homogeneous and well adherent coatings have been obtained on nickel, copper and stainless steel substrates. The nucleation and growth of the films were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and current-density/time...
The knowledge of the slug flow characteristics is very important when designing pipelines and process equipment. When the intermittences typical in slug flow occurs, the fluctuations of the flow variables bring additional concern to the designer. Focusing on this subject the present work discloses the experimental data on slug flow characteristics occurring in a large-size, large-scale facility. The results wer...
