Περίληψη

The electrochemical oxidation of phenolic compounds in aqueous media is known to be affected by the formation of electro-polymerizedorganic layers which lead to partial or complete electrode blocking. In this study the effect of high intensity microwave radiation applied locallyat the electrode surface is investigated for the oxidation of phenol and triclosan in alkaline solution at a 500 m diameter glassy carbon or at a500m×500m boron-doped diamond electrode. The temperature at the electrode surface and mass transport enhancement are determined bycalibration with the Fe(CN)63−/4− redox system in aqueous 0.3M NaOH and 0.2 NaCl (pH 12) solution. The calibration shows that strong thermaland mass transport effects occur at both glassy carbon and boron-doped diamond electrodes. The average electrode temperature reaches up to390K and mass transport enhancements of more than 20-fold are possible. For the phenol electro-oxidation at glassy carbon electrodes and at aconcentration below 2mM a multi-electron oxidation (ca. 4 electrons) occurs in the presence of microwave radiation. For the electro-oxidation ofthe more hydrophobic triclosan only the one-electron oxidation occurs. Although currents are enhanced in presence of microwave radiation, rapidblocking of the electrode surface in particular at high phenol concentrations still occurs.
