What is Electrochemical oxidation of organic pollutants in water at metal oxide electrodes: A simple theoretical model including direct and indirect oxidation processes at the anodic surface about?

The electrochemical oxidation of organics in water at metal oxide electrodes was investigated with the aim to discuss the correlations between the instantaneous current efficiency ICE and operative conditions by considering both the hypothesis of a direct oxidation process and of an indirect process mediated by adsorbed hydroxyl radicals or chemisorbed "oxygen", in order to explicit the main differences expected between these cases. Thus, a simple theoretical model was discussed, as an extension of previous studies of Comnnellis and co-workers which were focused on indirect oxidation paths [C. Comninellis, Electrochim. Acta 39 (1994) 1857; O. Simond, V. Schaller, Ch. Comninellis, Electrochim. Acta, 42 (1997) 2009], concerning both the cases of mass transfer control and oxidation reaction control and mixed kinetic regimes. A very good agreement, between theoretical predictions and experimental data pertaining to the electrochemical oxidation of oxalic and formic acid at IrO 2 -Ta 2 O 5 , was observed.
