SO_2 anodic reaction kinetics in zinc electrowinning

The anodic oxidation of sulfur dioxide instead of water in zinc hyrometallurgy was studied for energy saving. The experimental results show that under experimental conditions energy consumption can be reduced by 40%. The effects of SO 2 concentration, H 2SO 4 concentration, temperature and stirring speed on anodic reaction rate were investigated using potentiostatic polarization measurement. The results indicate that the SO 2 anodic reaction process is electrochemically controlled and obeys Tafel equation. The apparent activation energy for SO 2 anodic reaction is 31.8?kJ/mol, and the orders of anodic reaction are 3.30 and zero with respect to SO 2 and H 2SO 4 respectively.
