Abstract
The generation process of hydrogen peroxide in a fuel cell reactor was studied, in which continuously injected KOH aqueous solution was used as electrolyte. The results showed that the cell current, H2O2 concentration and current efficiency were affected by the concentration of KOH aqueous solution and flow rates of H2O, KOH, O2 and H2. When the concentration of KOH was 2 mol/L, the flow rates of H2O, KOH, H2 and O2 were 80 mL/h, 150 mL/h, 20 mL/min and 60 mL/min respectively, high H2O2 productivity (0.225 mol/L) and current efficiency (almost 100%) were obtained from the reactor system, which is expected to be applicable in wastewater treatment.
