Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This investigation presents a comprehensive kinetic analysis of titanium dissolution utilising DL-malic acid (a 50/50 mix of D- and L- isomer off malic acid) in conjunction with sodium fluoride solution, offering an innovative alternative to conventional chloride and sulphate methodologies. The experimental protocol employed a rotating disc apparatus to elucidate dissolution kinetics under systematically varied parameters, including angular velocity (rad/min), disc surface area (cm²), temperature (°C), and molar concentrations of DL-malic acid and sodium fluoride. A sophisticated Artificial Neural Network (ANN) architecture, implementing back-propagation methodology through the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm with a multilayer {6-10-1} configuration, was developed to predict titanium dissolution behavior. Experimental findings demonstrated that sodium fluoride concentration predominantly influenced dissolution kinetics, manifesting a chemical reaction order of 0.674. The investigation substantiated the theoretical framework of the Levich equation within the rotating disc paradigm. The ANN model demonstrated exceptional predictive capability, achieving correlation coefficients (R²) of 0.995, 0.994, 0.996, and 0.995 for training, validation, testing, and aggregate datasets. The experimentally determined activation energy of 23 kJ/mol conclusively indicated a diffusion-controlled reaction mechanism, providing fundamental insights into the mass transfer phenomena governing the dissolution process.
