Abstract: Chronopotentiometric experiments have been carried out to determine the effect of the electrolyte composition on the mechanism of electrodeposition of molybdenum from molten KF-B2O3-K2MoO4 salts. During the dissolution of potassium molybdate in the KF-B2O3 electrolyte, two types of molybdenum-containing species, electrochemically active and electrochemically inactive, are created. The electrochemically active molybdenum compound is created by a chemical reaction with boron containing constituents in the melt. Electrochemically inactive molybdenum species are created by the reaction of K2MoO4 with fluoride anions. A chemical reaction between these two species was found to precede the one-step charge-transfer reduction of Mo(VI). The diffusion coefficient of the electrochemically active molybdenum compound was determined to be 2.8 x 10-9 m2 s-1.
