A generative principle was applied to FeCl3 leaching of galena for the first time in this study. It has been confirmed that a certain quantity of electrical energy, as well as the leached products, could be obtained during the leaching process. The factors affecting the power output, such as electrode structure, temperature, agitation, solution compositions and concentration, and the connections between catholyte and anolyde compartments were investigated by a dual cell system. The experiments indicated that the interior resistance of the leaching system and the activation of the electrode are of key importance. Agitation speeds have little influence over a certain value. The effects of ferric chloride concentration in the leaching are similar to the traditional leaching. The activation energy was determined to be 14.96kJmol-1 for FeCl3 leaching of galena under the present conditions.

The thermoelectrochemistry (TEC), a novel cross discipline, is presented, including the basic equations for a cell and a half-cell reaction, the treatment of experimental data and its application to electro-generative leaching of mineral and to measuring thermodynamic and kinetic data of an electrode reaction. The TEC technology will play an important part in the research on the metallurgical process under various fields.

本文在多元多相体系变通的Gibbs-Duhem方程基础上，提出相界上的类Margules方程，用解析方法替代相界上Gibbs-Duhem方程图解积分，并能克服图解积分中出现的一些固有问题。

A new method has been developed to solve the problem of complete integration of the Gibbs-Duhem equation along phase boundaries in a c-eomponent and c-l-phase system. Two variables, (△1)1i=Di D1i and (△i)1i=D1 D1i, are introduced into the Gibbs-Duhem equation for multicomponent systems. And the function φ suggested by Chou for use in a miscibility gap of ternary systems is extended. Activities of componention whole phase boundaries may be calculated from the known experimental values of α1 by means of the modified Gibbs-Duhem equation without integral difficulties.
