ELECTRO-OXIDATION OF SATURATED HYDROCARBONS ON PLATINIZED PLATINUM IN PHOSPHORIC ACID.

Abstract

The anodic oxidation of normal hexane and cyclohexane in phosphoric acids gives two sets of measured parameters in two defined potential regions. Both sets are consistent with the same rate-determining step if one postulates a change from Langmuir to Temkin adsorption kinetics going from the lower (0.3 - 0.5 V) to the upper (0.57 - 0.8 V) potential region. The electrochemical activities of the hydrocarbons vary as follows: i sub C2H6 nearly equal to i sub C3H8 = 5 i sub n-hexane = 10 i sub cyclohexane. (Author)
