摘要
The oxidation of p-chlorophenol (pcp) and p-nitrophenol (pnp) was studied at Bi-doped PbO2 (Bi-PbO2) electrodes. The mass balance between solution composition and flowing charge was obtained from deconvolution of UV-Vis spectra recorded during electrolysis at constant potential. It is shown that the time-dependent production Of CO2 is different for the oxidation of pcp and pup, indicating different reaction mechanisms for the oxidation of each of these compounds. The reaction kinetics was also followed under thin layer conditions by SNIFTIRS; the similarly increasing signals associated to the generation Of CO2 obtained during oxidation of both compounds indicates that under conditions of restricted mass transfer the mineralization rates of pcp and pnp are similar. The results show that benzoquinone (bq) formed from oxidation of phenols desorbs prior to further oxidation to yield maleic acid (ma), in turn oxidizing further to CO2. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
