Abstract
An approach to the understanding of an electrochemical cell is developed, similar to that considered for the case of a chemical reactor. Special emphasis is placed on the specific features of this type of reactor. In particular, the rate of reaction is simultaneously related to, the local concentration value and the local potential difference. Both mass transfer and current density equations connecting the different species in solution form a system of three differential equations. The numerical resolution of this system provides us with the knowledge of concentration and potential distribution within the porous bed. In both cases of upward (cathode towards anode) and downward (anode towards anode) percolation the theoretical and experimental results are in very good agreement.
