Numerical solutions of the inverse kinetic problem by the example of the oxygen yield in an alkali electrolyte

Abstract

The article presents a solution to the problem of predicting the anode oxygen yield. The numerical algorithm developed by the authors makes possible to determine the rates of constants in electrode processes in accordance with the given experimental yield data, as well as to calculate the concentrations of substances involved in electrode processes at a specific point in time. The implementation of the method is shown as the calculation of the oxygen yield during the electrolysis of a potassium oxide aqueous solution, and it is based on the experimental data. The results of numerical studies are in good agreement with the experimental data.
