Abstract

The kinetics of thiocyanate oxidation in acid media using a cell with or without a membrane and with a platinum anode and a gas-diffusion cathode producing hydrogen peroxide has been studied. The influence of reagent concentration, current density and electrochemical cell design on the oxidation rate of SCN- has been investigated.
