An In Situ Infrared Study of the Oxidation of SO(2) on Platinum Electrodes
Abstract
The oxidation of sulfur dioxide on metal electrodes is of interest for its application in a variety of industrial processes, particularly in operations involving degradation of automobile emissions, production of energy, and winning of sulfide ores. The oxidation of sulfur dioxide by electrochemical methods is a complex process in which intermediates and products are formed which strongly adsorb on the electrode surface. A large number of electrochemical investigations have appeared which employ voltammetric techniques to obtain mechanistic information about the process. However, the oxidation process at platinum electrodes is a strong function of electrode pretreatment at cathodic potentials; thus, the electrochemical studies are not all in agreement. Electrodes.
