PROCESOS SIMULTÁNEOS

•  En electroquímica es frecuente que se use sólo una de las dos reacciones de la celda para producir una sustancia de interés.

•  Por ello estamos trabajando en procesos en donde se usa la electricidad en ambos electrodos para llevar a cabo una reacción útil

Paired Electrochemical Processes

Paired electrochemical processes:-‐ Avoid the need for a “sacrificial reaction”-‐ Reduce the generation of waste and theconsumption of energy

EXAMPLE: We developed a small–scale processfor the production of ClO2. (An environmentally-‐friendly alternative to Cl2 for disinfection, watertreatment, pulp bleaching)+ Reduction of ClO3

-‐, oxidation of ClO2-‐

Both electrodic reactions can be used for

ELECTROLUMINISCENCE (ECL)

Luminol (2,3-‐aminophthalohydrazide) can be oxidized in basic conditions to yield a relatively long-‐lived excited state from which it emits blue light. A co reactant (H2O2) was used to increase light emission.

The equilibrium between ClO2-‐ and ClO-‐ at a cathode

could allow for the use of this last species to provoke the oxidation of the luminophore to produce an excited state.
