Elucidation of solvation characteristics of supercritical fluids is indispensable to their utilization as media for separation or reaction. One powerful method for elucidating chemical equilibrium and solvation in SCFs is voltammetry. However, voltammetric measurement in pure supercritical CO2 is extremely difficult because CO2 is nonpolar. Electrochemical processes in several polar SCFs including acetonitrile, ammonia, and sulfur dioxide, were investigated by Bard and coworkers in the late 1980s (61-65). Dombro et al. reported the electrochemical synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from carbon monoxide and methanol in super-...

Other Methods. A variety of other methods have been studied, including phenol hydroxylation by N2O with HZSM-5 as catalyst (69), selective access to resorcinol from 5-methyloxohexanoate in the presence of Pd/C (70), cyclotrimerization of carbon monoxide and ethylene to form hydroquinone in the presence of rhodium catalysts (71), the electrochemical oxidation of benzene to hydroquinone and -benzoquinone (72), the air oxidation of phenol to catechol in the presence of a stoichiometric CuCl and Cu(0) catalyst (73), and the isomerization of dihydroxybenzenes on HZSM-5 catalysts (74). 

A variety of instmments are available to analyze carbon monoxide in gas streams from 1 ppm to 90%. One group of analyzers determines the concentration of carbon monoxide by measuring the intensity of its infrared stretching frequency at 2143 cm . Another group measures the oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide electrochemically. Such instmments are generally lightweight and weU suited to appHcations requiring portable analyzers. Many analyzers are equipped with alarms and serve as work area monitors. 

As we have shown in Section 1.2.1 carbon monoxide adsorbed on platinum can be transferred from the electrochemical cell to the UHV without detectable faradaic loss (see Fig. 1.4). Therefore this system can be taken as a model for the application of ECTDMS to the analysis of organic adsorbates. 

The electrochemical reduction of carbon monoxide also offers a route for the production of fuels from inorganic sources. For example, carbon monoxide is formed from coal in gasification... 

Energetics are size-reduced and mixed with concentrated nitric acid and silver nitrate to form a slurry. The slurry is mixed with Ag2+ from the electrochemical cells to oxidize the energetic material, forming carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, water, inorganic salts, and carbon monoxide. 

It is widely agreed that carbon monoxide (CO) is a m u or adsorbate when fuels such as methane, methanol, fi>rmaideh3rde, formic add, and higher molecular wei t hydrocarbons are electrochemically oxidized. CO is also found in a gas reformed from hydrocarbon for hydrogen- oxj en fuel cells. In both cases, it is certain that CO has inhibiting effects on the oxidation of the foels. For this reason, extensive works have been done. ... 

In this section, electrodes with relatively pure films of hexacyanoferrate(II/III) salts will be considered. They can be produced by a variety of means. In one series of experiments, graphite electrodes were treated with Fe(CO)5 in a glow discharge, after which the electrode surface contained iron(III) oxides and carboxylates (from oxidation of carbon monoxide). When the electrode is placed in aqueous K4[Fe(CN)6] the [Fe(CN)6]% couple is attached. The film is stable over many thousand electrochemical cycles and colour changes corresponding to those shown in equation (36) are noted. 

Carbon monoxide sensor. Carbon monoxide is a toxic air pollutant originating from incomplete combustion of fuels in burners or engines. Despite a strong demand for a very reliable carbon monoxide sensor, the only available sensor was based on an electrochemical type until recently. In this type sensor, selectivity and sensitivity for CO can often be enhanced by selecting elecrode materials and electrode potential appropriately, but several disadvantages are encountered, such as, short life, difficult maintenance and a rather expensive price. 

Here iii " and mout denote the mass flow rate of the mixture entering from the inlet and leaving from the outlet respectively. Rate of consumption and rate of production of each species A is denoted by m sed and mv d. These rates include the flux of reactants, which take part in electrochemical reactions, across the chan-nel/electrode interfaces and also the consumption and production of species due to methane reforming reaction on the anode side. Both hydrogen and carbon monoxide electrochemistry was considered and it was assumed that n2, the fraction of the current that is produced from H2 oxidation, is known. Thus the specie consump-... 

The equilibrium limitations of these two reforming reactions are overcome by continuous removal of hydrogen and carbon monoxide which are directly oxidized electrochemically at the anodic electrode. There, these components react with carbonate ions from the electrolyte to produce carbon dioxide, water and electrons according to the following stoichiometric relationships ... 

An improved electrochemical synthesis of chiral oxazolidin-2-ones from 1,2-aminoalcohols was achieved by reaction with C02 and electrogenerated acetonitrile anion <02TL5863>. The reaction of A-protected amino acids with paraformaldehyde was greatly accelerated by microwave irradiation <02TL9461>. Oxazolidin-2-ones were synthesised by sulfur assisted thiocarbonylation of 2-aminoethanols with carbon monoxide and subsequent oxidative cyclisation with molecular oxygen <02T7805>. 

While these experiments, which were carried out without giving a theoretical insight into the nature of the electrochemical reaction, yielded almost all the possible oxidation products in the oxidation of methyl alcohol, Elbs and Brunner 2 have discovered a method which gives 80% of the current yield in formaldehyde. This is exactly the substance which could not be proven present up to that time among the electrolytic oxidation products of methyl alcohol. Elbs and Brunner electrolyzed an aqueous solution of 160 g. methyl alcohol and 49 to 98 g. sulphuric acid in a litre. They employed a bright platinum anode in an earthenware cylinder, using a current density of 3.75 amp.1 and a temperature of 30°. Only traces of formic acid and carbonic acid and a little carbon monoxide, aside from the 80 per cent, of formaldehyde, were formed. Plating the platinum anode with platinum decreased the yield of formaldehyde at the expense of the carbon dioxide. With an anode of lead peroxide the carbon dioxide exceeded the aldehyde. 

Carbon monoxide reacts with [Fe(TPP)] to form a five-coordinate complex [Fe(TPP)CO], which can be reduced electrochemically to the corresponding iron(I) species from which, however,245 CO spontaneously dissociates. The Fe—CO interaction is stabilized by the,presence of hydrocarbon chains bound by amide linkages to the ortho position of the TPP phenyl rings. Carbon monoxide adducts of iron(I) complexes of a number of these superstructured porphyrins have been reported.245 The chemistry of these highly reduced species is of relevance to understanding240 the reactions of cytochrome P-450 and the peroxidases. 

The basic elements of a SOFC are (1) a cathode, typically a rare earth transition metal perovskite oxide, where oxygen from air is reduced to oxide ions, which then migrate through a solid electrolyte (2) into the anode, (3) where they combine electrochemically with to produce water if hydrogen is the fuel or water and carbon dioxide if methane is used. Carbon monoxide may also be used as a fuel. The solid electrolyte is typically a yttrium or calcium stabilized zirconia fast oxide ion conductor. However, in order to achieve acceptable anion mobility, the cell must be operated at about 1000 °C. This requirement is the main drawback to SOFCs. The standard anode is a Nickel-Zirconia cermet. 

In Secs. 5-10 we present a series of selected examples of the use of the external reflectance technique to investigate some electrochemical systems of interest. Results from the electrochemical literature on the adsorption of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and alcohols are discussed and compared with the data from UHV measurements (Secs. 5-7). 

Adsorbed carbon monoxide is a matter of special interest in ultrahigh vacuum as well as in electrochemical systems. CO has been used as probe molecule in surface vibrational spectroscopy. For important reviews of CO adsorbed from the gas phase, see [21, 42, 45, 46]. The rather large dynamic dipole moment (9///0Q) of adsorbed CO is particulary suited for infrared spectroscopy at electrochemical interfaces, where submonolayer amounts of species must be observed in the presence of IR-active solution compontents.

It is mentioned in Section 13.4.2 that chemisorption of carbon monoxide or hydrogen from the gas phase, or adsorption of CO by electrochemical methods, does not change the metallic character of the surface of the platinum particles, since there...
