K. Ebitani et al., KINETIC MECHANISM OF REACTION BETWEEN TT-PHASE NIOBIUM OXIDE AND CARBON-TETRACHLORIDE (CCL4), Journal of solid state chemistry, 117(2), 1995, pp. 379-385
The kinetic mechanism of reaction between TT-phase niobium oxide and c
arbon tetrachloride (CCl4) at low (453 K) and high (above 573 K) tempe
ratures was investigated. The reaction of the TT-phase niobium oxide w
ith CCl4 at 453 K was controlled by the diffusion of CCl4 through the
outer layer of the reaction product, NbOCl3, formed around the surface
. For the reaction at temperatures above 573 K, the chemical reaction
on the surface of the niobium oxide controls the total reaction rate d
ue to the disappearance of the layer of NbOCl3. (C) 1995 Academic Pres
