Abstract

Preparation of peroxodisulphates by electrolysis of mixed solutions of sulphuric acid and various sulphates was studied at low degree of conversion; the partial polarization curves of peroxodisulphate formation and of oxygen evolution obtained from the overall anodic polarization curves and current yields of the principal anodic processes were examined. The mechanism of the effect of various cations on the rate of anodic formation of peroxodisulfates is discussed.
