Abstract

A novel electrochemical method was employed to accurately measure the kinetics of H2O2 decomposition on the surface of magnetite at elevated temperatures and pressures. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to probe the decay of H2O2 concentration by tracking the charge transfer resistance on the surface of a platinum electrode. It was found that the decomposition kinetics follow a first-order rate law with respect to H2O2 concentration and vary from 8.1×10−4 to 7.9×10−2min−1 when the temperature increases from 298 to 473K (for a 0.2gL−1 magnetite suspension). The mean calculated activation energy of 30±1kJmol−1 showed that H2O2 decomposition on the surface of magnetite particles is a chemically controlled process.
