Abstract

The effects of the electrode material particle size, electrode thickness, diaphragm properties and gas and electrolyte flow rates on the pressure loss and liquid holdup in the electrode and on the current efficiency of peroxide formation by oxygen reduction were studied in a trickle electrode. The results are discussed using trickle-bed electrode calculations.
