Abstract

Abstract This article presents some aspects related to the cathodic discharge of the mercuric ion provided from HgCl2 into an aqueous solution of 0.1 M H2SO4 on different types of electrodes: gold disc electrode (GDE), carbon paste electrode (CPE) and platinum-disk electrode (PDE). Using the rotating disk electrode technique applied on PDE it was established that the cathodic discharge mechanism for the mercuric ion is based on both process types: mass transport, achieved by diffusion and charge transfer, achieved by electron transfer from cathode to mercury ion
