The influence of the temperature and pressure applied in preparation of porous electrodes from Teflon-bonded carbon black on the hydrogen peroxide current yield and the current density was investigated. The porous structure, the wetted surface area of carbon black, and the electric resistance of the electrode mass were examined in order to establish the factors responsible for the varying electrode activity.

With porous electrodes prepared by pressing a mixture of carbon black and polyethylene powder, the influence of the content of the binder on their electric resistance, wettability, current density, and current yield of peroxide during reduction of oxygen was studied.

The reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide was studied in semihydrophobic trickle electrodes prepared from crushed graphite and teflonized carbon black. The potential of these electrodes was found markedly more positive and the peroxide current yields appreciably higher than for electrodes made of used crushed graphite. The reason for this is the higher surface area of the electrodes containing carbon black and occurrence of a three-phase interface in them. The relevant properties, i.e. electric resistance, electrolyte holdup, polarization curves for the oxygen reduction and pexide current yields, were also studied for trickle electrodes containing graphite felt. The electrochemical activity of electrodes made from untreated felt was found rather low but it increased several times when felt pretreated by oxidation was used.

The current yield of hydrogen peroxide during cathodic readuction of oxygen in porous electrodes from various carbonaceous materials is the lower the higher is the number of paramagnetic centers in these materials. A substantial decrease in the concentration of paramagnetic centers by heating to 900 °C in vacuum is only temporary, whereas by heating with alkali metal sulphides it is practically permanent.

A mathematical model for describing the trickle-bed electrode has been developed and used to calculate the potential distribution along the current flow and the hydrogen peroxide concentration profile along the electrolyte flow (normal to the direction of current). Polarization curves and dependences of the current yield of hydrogen peroxide and the peroxide losses due to the processes occurring (reduction, decomposition, and transport into the anode chamber) on the current density have also been calculated. A comparison is made between calculated and measured dependences of the current yield of hydrogen peroxide on the current density.

The subject of the study were samples of channel technical carbon K354, furnace technical carbon N121 and experimental – based on TUN121, oxidized with active forms of oxygen. Samples of carbon black were studied in the composition of a rubber mixture based on BK 1675N butyl rubber. The purpose of this study was to determine the possibility of using oxidized technical carbon N121 in fillers of rubber based on butyl rubber, instead of carbon black K354. The physicochemical properties of the samples of technical carbon under study, the results of physical and mechanical tests, and the gas permeability tests of rubber mixtures filled with the samples under study are presented. A conclusion is made about the possibility of replacing channel technical carbon K354 with furnace black carbon N121 oxidized with 30% hydrogen peroxide.
