Abstract

The properties of graphite felt as an efficient flow-through or flow-by electrode are demonstrated by the removal of traces of mercuric ions from aqueous electrolyte solutions. A simple and direct method is suggested for the determination of the concentration-distribution profile of the electro-deposit on the electrode. The data are compared to those obtained for electrodes used by other authors. It is concluded that mass transport and other properties are much better for the graphite felt than for the other electrodes, thus making it attractive for the use in electrochemical reactors.
