Electrochemical treatment of toxic compounds on the surface of amorphous Ni–Nb–Pt–Sn alloys

The effect of process conditions on the treatment of benzoquinone solution by electrocoagulation

“…Finally, when pH is higher than 9, the monomeric anion, Al(OH) 4 − is formed at the expense of amphoteric Al(OH) 3 (s) according to the reaction…”

“…The results show that 36% of phenol, 29% of HQ and 23% of BQ are reduced to CO 2 and H 2 O after 3 h of electrochemical oxidation in conditions of 100 A/m 2 [4]. The anodic degradation of BQ as a model compound for wastewater treatment was carried out using a homemade flow-through electrochemical cell with carbon fibers.…”

Preparation and characterization of Ti/SnO2–Sb2O3–Nb2O5/PbO2 thin film as electrode material for the degradation of phenol

“…Andrade et al studied phenol electrooxidation in H 2 SO 4 medium using pure PbO 2 or F-, Co-and Co/F-doped PbO 2 electrodes in filter-press cells [22]. Ni-Nb-Pt-Sn alloys were applied to oxidation of phenols in acidic aqueous solutions [23]. Recently some modified electrodes composed of binary and ternary oxide mixtures have also been investigated and the electrochemical performance was enhanced [24].…”

Bifunctional amorphous alloys more tolerant to carbon monoxide

“…Ni 60 -Nb 40 polyphasic alloys have been recently used as a matrix in new amorphous alloys [8]. These have been alloyed with Pt (1−x) Y x (Y = Ru, Sn, x = 1, 0.6 at.%) metals, and further used as catalyst components for anode materials for the electrochemical treatment of toxic compounds, and for its application in fuel cells [9,10].…”
