Abstract
|
|
|
|
The electrochemical reduction of methylene blue (MB) in 1.0×10-2 M KNO3 aqueous solution was investigated by direct current (DC), differential pulse (DP) polarography, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and controlled potential coulometry (CPC). The electrode reduction of melthylene blue was processed CE reaction mechanism by two electrons transfer at the first reversible wave (- 0.18 volts vs. Ag/AgCl). MB was strongly adsorbed on the stationary mercury electrode and the reduction product of conptrolled potential electrolysis was rapidly auto-oxidized in air to the original methylene blue. Upon the basis of interpretation of cyclic voltammogram with pH change, possible CE electrode reaction mechanism was suggested.
