Abstract:

Polarization curves in acid, neutral and alkaline solution were drawn by potentiostatic method, for oxygen and hydrogen peroxide reduction processes and for hydrogen peroxide oxidation process. In the case of acid solutions current yields were ALSO DETERMINED FOR CATHODIC REDUCTION OF OXYGEN TO HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE TO WATER. It was found that a stationary concentration of hydrogen peroxide about .0025 M is formed in acid solutions, and preferably either oxygen or hydrogen peroxide reduction process occurs according to the higher or lower concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the solution, in respect to the above value.
