Oxidation Characteristics of Aliphatic Acids using differently Doped Tin Oxide Anodes

摘要

The use of electrochemical methods for the oxidative removal of organic pollutants from wastewater has attracted much attention in the past years(1-4).It has been shown that compounds such as phenol can be removed from aqueous solutions using tin oxide anodes doped with antimony(1).Since then a large range of other anode materials has been tested(2-5).This electrochemical process is carried out at high anodic currents at which the O_2 evolution reaction(OER)also takes place.
