The anodic process on glassy carbon electrodes in molten CaCl 2 containing CaO was investigated at 1123 K by cyclic voltammetry and convolution voltammetry. It was found that the oxidation sequence occurs through a consecutive two-step electrochemical reaction: O 2Ϫ (diss) ϩ xC r C x O(ads) ϩ 2e and O 2Ϫ (diss) ϩ C x O(ads) r CO 2 (gas) ϩ (x Ϫ 1)C ϩ 2e. Both steps were found to be irreversible. Experimental data indicate that the first electrochemical step is preceded by the dissociation of a complex. The diffusion coefficient of the oxygen-containing species, the charge-transfer coefficient, and the charge-transfer rate constant were found equal to 2.0 ϫ 10 Ϫ6 cm 2 s Ϫ1 , 0.43, and 1.8 ϫ 10 Ϫ5 cm s Ϫ1 , respectively.
