Electrochemical behavior of Cu-mediated electrowinning …
The mechanism of the Cu-NH 3 based ECC electrolysis, including the electrochemical CO 2 desorption and electrochemical NH 3 regeneration, is shown in Fig. 2.The redox-active couple of Cu 2+ /Cu (s) is used as the electrochemical medium, in which NH 3 can bind more strongly with Cu 2+ to form Cu(N H 3) n 2+ than with the CO 2 to form carbamate. The …
