Adsorption Studies Of Organic Compounds On The Hydrogen Electrode Using A Microcoulometric Technique, Philip Lamar Oglesby Dec 1957

Adsorption Studies Of Organic Compounds On The Hydrogen Electrode Using A Microcoulometric Technique, Philip Lamar Oglesby

Master's Theses

This work was concerned with the adsorption of various organic compounds and their effect on the hydrogen electrode where adsorption is defined as the accumulation of a chemical substance at the boundary separating two phases. In this case, the two phases were the electrode and the ionic solution surrounding it.

A Microcoulometric Study Of Adsorption On The Hydrogen Electrode, Ray Douglas Sothern

Master's Theses

Thie work was begun with the intention of studying the adsorption of organic compounds upon the hydrogen electrode. The fact that certain substances, even when present in extremely low concentration, will poison the electrode with which they are in contact shows clearly that these substances must be strongly adsorbed on the electrode surface. The problem or determining the amount absorbed at various concentration, temperatures, and pressures, however, required a method capable of detecting quantities of adsorbate in the ordor of 10-11 moles.
