Abstract:Electrochemical oxidation of thiocyanate (SCN) on platinum electrode in the sulfuric acid medium was studied using cyclic voltammetry, in situ UV-visible absorption measurement, rotating ring-disc electrode voltammetry, and electrical impedance spectroscopy. Two oxidation processes are involved in the electrochemical oxidation of SCN in sulfuric acid medium. The adsorbed SCN undergoes oxidation at potential values higher than 0.900 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE). Trithiocyanate, $$ {\left( { {SCN} } \right)}^{ - }_{3} $$, is formed as a relatively stable product during the first oxidation process. The potential range of $$ {\left( { {SCN} } \right)}^{ - }_{3} $$ formation increases with increase in concentration of SCN, and it is exclusively produced in the potential range of 0.550 to 1.40 V versus SCE with 1.0 M NH4SCN solution. The second oxidation process does not produce any stable product, and the products of second oxidation passivate the electrode surface.
