Anode for oxygen

Oxygen-Evolving Anode. Research efforts to iacorporate the coated metal anode for oxygen-evolving appHcations such as specialty electrochemical synthesis, electro winning, impressed current, electrodialysis, and metal recovery found only limited appHcations for many years. [Pg.120]

The commercial status of metal anodes for oxygen-evolving appHcations maybe summarized as foUows ... [Pg.120]

An increasing amount of attention is being given to oxides as possible anodes for oxygen evolution because of the importance of this reaction in water electrolysis. In this connection, numerous studies have been carried out on noble metal oxides, spinel and perovskite type oxides, and other oxides such as lead and manganese dioxide. Kinetic parameters for the oxygen evolution reaction at a variety of single oxides and mixed oxides are shown in Table 3. [Pg.277]

The oxygen contribution from these reactions is dependent on the nature of the anode material and the pH of the medium. The current efficiency for oxygen is generally 1—3% using commercial metal anodes. If graphite anodes are used, another overall reaction leading to inefficiency is the oxidation of... [Pg.482]

Lead Telluride. Lead teUuride [1314-91 -6] PbTe, forms white cubic crystals, mol wt 334.79, sp gr 8.16, and has a hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale. It is very slightly soluble in water, melts at 917°C, and is prepared by melting lead and tellurium together. Lead teUuride has semiconductive and photoconductive properties. It is used in pyrometry, in heat-sensing instmments such as bolometers and infrared spectroscopes (see Infrared technology AND RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY), and in thermoelectric elements to convert heat directly to electricity (33,34,83). Lead teUuride is also used in catalysts for oxygen reduction in fuel ceUs (qv) (84), as cathodes in primary batteries with lithium anodes (85), in electrical contacts for vacuum switches (86), in lead-ion selective electrodes (87), in tunable lasers (qv) (88), and in thermistors (89). [Pg.69]

If the fire-refined copper is to be cast into anodes for electrorefining, the oxygen content of the copper is lowered to 0.05—0.2%. If the copper is to be sold directly for fabrication, the oxygen level is adjusted to 0.03—0.05%, which is the range for tough-pitch copper. The principal reactions of fire refining are... [Pg.201]

Since tire alkali and alkaline metals have such a high affinity for oxygen, sulphur aird selenium they are potentially useful for the removal of these iron-metallic elements from liquid metals with a lower affinity for these elements. Since the hairdling of these Group I and II elements is hazardous on the industrial scale, their production by molten salt electrolysis during metal rehning is an attractive alternative. Ward and Hoar (1961) obtained almost complete removal of sulphur, selenium and tellurium from liquid copper by the electrolysis of molten BaCla between tire metal which functioned as the cathode, and a graphite anode. [Pg.363]

The composition of the mixed metal oxide may well vary over wide limits depending on the environment in which the anode will operate, with the precious metal composition of the mixed metal oxide coating adjusted to favour either oxygen or chlorine evolution by varying the relative proportions of iridium and ruthenium. For chlorine production RuOj-rich coatings are preferred, whilst for oxygen evolution IrOj-rich coatings are utilised. ... [Pg.172]

The corrosion product is predominantly carbon dioxide, but considerable amounts of free oxygen are produced at the anode surface, particularly in fresh-water applications, and can attack both the carbon and any organic binders used to reduce its porosity. For this reason carbon anodes for underground service are used in conjunction with a carbonaceous backfill. [Pg.184]

In acid electrolytes, carbon is a poor electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution at potentials where carbon corrosion occurs. However, in alkaline electrolytes carbon is sufficiently electrocatalytically active for oxygen evolution to occur simultaneously with carbon corrosion at potentials corresponding to charge conditions for a bifunctional air electrode in metal/air batteries. In this situation, oxygen evolution is the dominant anodic reaction, thus complicating the measurement of carbon corrosion. Ross and co-workers [30] developed experimental techniques to overcome this difficulty. Their results with acetylene black in 30 wt% KOH showed that substantial amounts of CO in addition to C02 (carbonate species) and 02, are... [Pg.238]

Dimethyl sulphoxide has also been oxidized electrochemically, using either a platinum anode or a dimensionally stable anode containing iridium and selenium in 1 M sulphuric acid solution158. The former electrode requires a potential close to that required for oxygen evolution whilst the latter needed a potential 0.5 volts lower. Thus the dimension-... [Pg.986]

Since the oxygen overvoltage on a platinum electrode is equal to 0.45 V, the minimum potential required for oxygen evolution is (+ 0.813 + 0.45) V or 1.263 V. Since the voltage required to implement this reaction is lower than that for a normal chlorine electrode, it follows that oxygen will be evolved at the anode in preference to chlorine. In contrast to the two possible reactions at the anode, there are five reactions that are possible at the cathode as shown below ... [Pg.690]
