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, , is formed as a relatively stable product during the first oxidation process. The potential range of 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. |
