Sažetak
The indirect electrochemical oxidation of phenol was studied at Ti/IrO2 and Ti/Pt-SnO2-Sb2O5 electrodes by bulk electrolysis experiments under galvanostatic control. The obtained results clearly shown that the electrode material was an important parameter for the optimization of such processes determining their mechanism and oxidation products. Different current efficiencies were obtained at Ti/IrO2 and Ti/Pt-SnO2-Sb2O5, depending on the applied current density in the range from 10, 20 and 30 mA cm−2. The effect of the amount of dissolved NaCl was studied also. It was observed that the electrochemical processes (direct/indirect) favor specific oxidation pathways depending on electrocatalytic material. Phenol degradation generates several intermediates eventually leading to complete mineralization, as indicated by the results obtained with the High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique.
