Abstract
The effect of counterelectrode oxygen bubbles on the rate of mass transfer at inclined electrodes was studied by measuring the limiting current of the cathodic deposition of copper from acidified solution using a parallel plate cell. Variables studied were angle of inclination (θ) from the horizontal, copper sulfate concentration electrode separation, and oxygen discharge rate. The rate of mass transfer at the downward facing cathode was found to increase over the natural convection value by an amount ranging from 3 to 116% as a result of the stirring effect of the counterelectrode oxygen bubbles evolved at the upward facing lead anode; the degree of mass‐transfer enhancement depends on the operating conditions. The data were correlated for and by the equation
