We measured the ring collection coefficient of bromide anion oxidation products in a neutral and slightly alkaline medium on a rotating ring-disk electrode (glassy carbon disk, platinum ring) varying the following parameters: disk electrode rotation velocity, sodium bromide concentration, pH of the medium (in the range of 6−12), anode current on the disk, and the electroreduction potential of the bromide anion oxidation products on the ring. The data obtained are presented via dependences of the cathode ring current on the disk current ratio vs. the ring electrode potential. The analysis of the results was carried out by comparing the experimental polarization curves of the ring electrode with the data of cyclic voltammetry in model solutions to determine the electrical activities of various bromine compounds in positive oxidation states. We claim that the RRDE method could be used to obtain quantitative and qualitative data on the electrooxidation of bromide ions in neutral and alkaline solutions. For the most effective regeneration of the spent oxidizer, the values of pH > 10 and moderate concentrations of NaBr should be used. |
