Dissolved oxygen was electrochemically reduced in cells of the type (--) O(in M)/ZrO2-CaO/O2 (4-) where M was either silver or copper. Impervious ZrO2 4-10 m/o (mole per cent) CaO electrolyte tubes were immersed in the liquid metal. The dependence of current on immersion depth, applied potential, time, dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, and the amplitude and frequency of vibration of the electrolyte was studied. The electrode reactions are reversible. At sufficiently high applied potentials, diffusion overpotential appears at the liquid metal electrode and, for small depths of immersion, limiting currents are eventually realized. They are directly proportional to the concentration of dissolved oxygen meaning that voltammetric measurements could be used to determine the dissolved oxygen content of liquid metals. This proportionality was verified from 0.002 to 0.15 a/o (atomic per cent) O in silver between 1000 ~ and 1200~ and from 0.005 to 0.13 a/o O in copper between 1100 ~ and 1300~ Effective diffusion layer thicknesses are about 0.05 cm."
