✦ Synopsis
The cathodic potential-decay process on platinum electrodes in oleums has been investigated by means of a rotating disk. The non-steady parameters are compared with those already reported under steady-state conditions, Both results are discussed in terms of a general reaction mechanism comprising various consecutive as well as alternative steps, considering that the main cathodic product is sulphur dioxide. The SO,-containing species acts as a depolarizer by reacting with hydrogen atoms adsorbed on the electrode surface. R&mm&-L.e processus cathodique de d&roissance du potentiel de I'Qectiode de platine dans les oleums a 6th &die au moyen d'un disque tournant. Les param&res non-stationnaires sont compan!.s avec ceux qui furent obtenus dans conditions stationnaires. I.es deux r&ultats sont discutb avec un m&anisme de r&action g&n&al comprenant plusieurs &apes con&utives et aIternatives, consid6rant que le produit cathodique principal est l'anhytide sulfureux. L'esp&ce contenant du SOS agit comme d+olarisateur en r&agissant avec les atomes d'hydrog&ne adsorb& sur la surface de l'&ctrode. Zusamm~Es wurde der kathodische Verfallprozesse dsr Elektrodenspannungin Oleum an einer sich drehenden Platin scheiben Elektrode untersucht. Die nicht-stationntien Parameter werden mit den im stationn5ren Zustand erhaltenen verglichen. Beide Ergebnisse werden in Rahmen ein allgemeiner Reaktionsmechanismus weIcher verschiedene aufeinanderfolgende sowie such abwcchselnde Schritte besprochen, wobei beriicksichtigt wird, dass das Hauptprodukt Schwefeldioxyd ist. Die SO,-enthaltende Verbindung wirkt als Depolarisator indem sie mit den auf der ElektrodenoberfGche absorbierte Wasserstoffatomen reagiert.
