Electrochemical oxidation of benzoic acid and its aromatic intermediates on boron doped diamond electrodes

Electrochemical oxidation using Boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes is a promising purification technique to remove organic pollutants, such as benzoic acid, from wastewaters. In this study the oxidation of benzoic acid has been investigated on rotating disk electrodes and in flow cells with well-d...
