硝基苯在铜电极上的电还原特性研究

应用循环伏安法和线性扫描伏安法研究水溶液中硝基苯在铜电极上的电还原特性及其电还原为苯胺的中间步骤和反应机理.结果表明:铜电极上硝基苯的还原电位在-0.58V和-1.32V左右(vs.SCE),溶液的酸性和碱性均有益于该还原反应的发生;还原过程伴有反应物吸附现象,当硝基苯浓度较大时,还原过程受传质过程控制;随着厌氧程度的提高,还原速率加快.

Electrochemical Reduction Characteristics of Nitrobenzene at the Copper Electrode

The electrochemical reduction characteristics and transition steps of nitrobenzene aqueous solution at the copper electrode, as well as its reduction mechanism were extensively investigatedby using the techniques such as cyclic voltammetry(CV) and linear scan voltammetry(LSV). The results showed that the reduction peaks of nitrobenzene at the copper electrode were located at 0.58 V and 1.32 V or so (vs. SCE), both acidity and alkalinesolutionsfavoredthe reduction of nitrobenzene. The adsorption of compounds followed by the reduction process, which is controlled by the mass transfer step at higher nitrobenzene concentration. In addition, the higher anaerobic degree led to faster reduction rate.
