Abstract
Dynamics of the anode oxidation of sulphite and thiosulphate solutions (concentration: 10 g/l) on carbon felt VNG-30 and "Karbolon V-22" under different electrolysis conditions was investigated. It was established that these materials are rather stable under anode polarization to ϕ ≈ 1.7 V (c.s.e.) and may be used for the anode oxidation of sulphite and thiosulphate ions. It was demonstrated that the oxidation rate increases with an increase in the anode polarization, especially with a decrease in the concentration of the oxidizing anions. It was shown that the addition of KBr (up to 10 g/l) to the solution causes a substantial acceleration of the oxidation of both sulphite and thiosulphate.
