Dissolution of Copper in Weakly Acidic Solutions by A. J. Read Chemistry Division, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Gracefield, N e w Zealand

(Received Pebruary 7 , 1978)

The dissolution of copper in weakly acidic perchlorate solutions was measured over a range of pI3 (4.0-5.5), PO, (0.05-1.0 bar), and cupric ion concentrations (1 X 10-4-16 X M) a t constant ionic strength (0.05 M ) ~The method used allowed several measurements to be made under pseudo-zero-order conditions on a and PO$was found to be 1.0 and 0.25, respecsingle piece of copper in situ. The order dependence on (H+) tively. Increasing the temperature from 16.9 to 45.0' increased the rate by a factor of 6.2. Addition of C1-- and Br- ions enhanced the dissolution rate while added F-, NOS-, S042-, and Zn2+ had a negligible effect. These results are discussed in terms of a solid-state mechanism involving the formation, transport, and destruction of cation vacancies and positive holes.

Introduction Numerous publications have appeared dealing with the corrosior. of copper under a wide variety of conditions. l - I G However, few authors studied dissolution under conditions allied to natural mater systems.6b16l7 The reaction mechanism was not fully elucidated under acidic and is even less well understood in solutions conhaining low concentrations of complexing ions. The present work seeks t o improve the understanding of the dissolution reaction in weakly acidic media (pH range 4.0-5.5). The oxjde films, formed initially on copper single crystals in water, were shown to consist of cuprous oxide@-*O even though thermodynamic considerations indicated cupric oxide was the stable phasesz1 At room temperature, Lhese films grew more rapidly in water than in air.lR It seemed likely, therefore, that cuprous oxide would be an intermediate in the dissolution of copper in the present study. It Is often difieult to control all the variables for a heterogeneous reaction, to a suitable level of precision. I n the present P ; O I ' ~ a technique was used which allowed the precise control of reaction variables (e.y., PO,,pH, (Cu2+),m d ionic strength) and minimized the problem of .aeprodiicing characteristic metal surfaces. Further, ns relai,jve rate measurements are sufficient for a mechanistic ttud.y, no great importance ivas attached to thcb variation of rate with surface preparation.

, Le., ( 2 ) describes the equilibrium between cuprous oxide and an aqueous solution containing cupric ions where PO,is that existing a t the CuzO-CuO interface. The PO, value for the CuzOCuO stability boundary is about 10-37.6bar.27 Values calculated from stationary state experiments deviate from this probc,bly as a result of the nonstoichiometric nature of the cuprous oxide, an incomplete coverage of the Cu2Q by a CuO film, and the system not being a t equilibrium. At the stationary state there would be a slow growth of the cuprous and cupric oxide layers with a corresponding utilization of oxygen. Once the cuprous oxide was covered with a layer of cupric oxide no change in pH would be expected. In view of the interest in the corrosion of copper in natural. waters it is ueefiil to consider the possible role CUO

of cupric oxide in this process. Copper is usually passivated when coated with an impervious layer of corrosion product.28 There are instances when this does not happenz1and the presence of cupric oxide may be relevant. Some related data are now given. After determining the curve in Figure 2 for pM 5.50 (curve a in Figure 3) the sample was allowed t o corrode with the pH titrator disconnected, until a stationary state was attained. As indicated above, material is deposited on the sample surface. Curves b, c, and d of Figure 3 show the rate dependence on (Cu2+) after successive increments of material had been deposited from solution. The increase in rate a t zero (Cu2+j for curves a-d might be the result of increased surface area, the deposited material being rather loosely adherent.I3 The increased sensitivity of the rate to iiicreasing (Cu2+) for a-d may indicate how corrosion is rapidly stifled when growth of mixed oxide film has occurred under certain conditions. Effect of Oxygen. The rate dependence on PO,was determined a t different (Cu2+) and pH values and in the presence of chloride (Table IV). PO,was varied using 02-Nz mixtures and without removing the copper sample a serieR of measurements at constant p B . (Cu2+),I , and stirring conditions but a i different PO, values was made. To ascertain whether the copper surface had changed during the series a rede termination of the dissolution rate under the initial conditions of PO,was made. A typical plot of log R (mol min-' cm+) us. log P O , (bar) is shown in Figure 4 while Table IV records the range of conditions for which the oxygen dependence was measured.

Discussion The rate of dissolution of metals and compounds in aqueous reagents has been discussed in terms of a diffusion layer theory.75 The elementary model describes the formation of an extremely thin layer of saturated solution a t Lhc solid Burface, the rate being determined by drffusion from this layer. The corresponding model for the disscllu?ior, of copper covered with cuprous oxide would be

Equation 6 describes the reaction occurring a t the Cu20-H20 inr erfaoe while (8) describes the overall reaction in thc. buik solution. If (7) is the slow step, reactions 6 and 8 must be rapid. Yet if (8) is rapid, the cuprous ions d l be oxidized before they rnove from the surface. The rate dependence on PO,eliminates (6) as the rate-determining step, suggesting that the oxidalion of Cu+ m:ty be 3 ow. This is considered later. On the other hand, control by solution diffusion of 0 2 , H", or Cu.'' was untenable in view of the observed

366 i rate dependence on Po2,(H+), (Cu2+),(Cl-), and (Br-). This conclusion was supported by the relatively minor effect of increased stirring, although such evidence must be treated with caution. While the dependence of a diffusion-controlled reaction generally weakens with more violent agitation, this is not necessarily synonymous with a transition into a region of kinetic control. In fact, lack of a stirring effect was shown to occur in the diffusional range,31 due to a slipping effect with the stirrer failing to carry the liquid along with it a t the higher rotational rates. Therefore, additional information must be available to enable a distinction between a chemical reaction and a solution diffusion process to be made unequivocally. We conclude that the dissolution is not controlled by a simple diffusion process in solution. A solid-state mechanism is now proposed. The oxidation of a metal in a gaseom environment has been described in terms of reactions at the metal-oxide and oxide-gas interfaces and the transport of material through the oxide film.32 The slowest of these steps will control film growth. In an aqueous environment film growth is opposed by dissolution and for films of constant thickness we expect the rate of oxide growth to equal the rate of dissolution. In the present investigation, when steady-state rates were observed (pseudozero-order conditions) we consider the film thickness to be constant. The oxidation and dissolution of copper will now be considered in terms of the production of cation vacancies and positive holes at the Cu20-N20 interface, their migration across the oxide film with their consequent destruction at the Cu-GuzO interface.

This formulation satisfies the PO,and (H+) dependence found experimentally (Tables IV and V) and predicts an order of -8.5 with respect to ( C U ~ + ~ , ) . A distinction between (lo), (21), and cation vacancy migration (all of which predict the observed rate dependence on Po2 and @+)) as the rate-determining step cannot he made in terms of the measured rate dependence on (Cui+) (see Figure 2). The significance of the ordor dependence (-0.2) as compared with --0.5 ((21) or vacancy migration rate dctermining) and zero ((10) rate determining) is not clear. However, the energy of activation provides additional information. In the present work this was 12 kcal mol -I. From high-temperature oxidation experiments using radioactive copper, Moore and S e l i l r ~ o ncalcu~~ lated the activation energy for the self-diffusion of Cu 111 CuzQ to be 36.1 kcal mol-’. The activation energy €or the self-diifusior, process represents the sum of the activation entqies for the formation and diffusion of ration v a ~ a n c ~ eThus, s ~ ~ ~using the enthalpy of formation derived by 0”Keeffe and (21.7 kcal mol-l), the enthalpy of rnigration is calculated as 14.4 kcal mol -l. This compares well with that obtained in the present work (12 kcal mol-’). However, in a recent p u b l i e a t i ~ n ,the ~ ~ eathalpy for the self-diffusion has been found to be 24.0 kcal mol-l. Further, some of was indicated to be of inferior the earlier quality. In view of the large discrepancy between the enthalpies reported for self-diffusion, it cannot be concluded without reservation that the slow step in the current study i s a cation vacancy migration. As noted earlier added CI- and Br- ions enhance the rate with Br- having the greater effect (Figure 6). In contrast, added F-, S042-, and NO3- ions have a negligible effert. This behavior parallels the ability of these ions to complex with cuprous ions in aqueous solution.2g However, let us consider complexing reactions of the tylie CU

Incorporatiyg this type of complexing in equations corresponding to (9) and (8), we find that the sum of these with (IO) its identical with (12), demonstrating that the dependence of the rates on PO,and H+ would be unchanged (Table IV and V) but also that there would be no chtalysis by chloride. On the other hand, the effect of chloride has been described in terms of the substitution of C1 for 0 in the crystal lat t i ~ a : . ~This ~ substitution would create a charge imbalance leading to the formation of cation vacancies to maintain electrical neutrality, i.e. A

On this basis, the observed rate dependence on (?I+) is not satisfactorily explained. Furthermore, increased substitution of oxygen ions of the lattice by bromide ions to account for the increased effect of the latter would not be expected from simple ion size considerations. Thus while some substitution may take place, it does not appear to be the dominant mechanism. In addition, the negligible effect of added fluoride ions (Figure 6) would indicate only minor substitution in the structure. Neither suggestion for the catalytic effect of chloride fits the data well. It is worth noting that the substitution model describing the effect of (H+) on the corrosion of alumin i ~ m also * ~ does not appear to apply in the present case. To summarize, each solid-state model predicts the same dependence on PO,and (H+) and the data showing i,he rate dependence on (Cu2+)does not clarify the situation. Hence the conclusion that the slow step is a slow cation vacancy migration rests on the available evidence concerning the enthalpy of migration,
