Abstract

The electrochemical behavior and possible reaction mechanism in Fe(Ⅲ)-oxalate-calcium gluconate system were studied by cyclic voltammetry. The results showed that Fe(Ⅱ)-gluconate was the final reductant. The reduction time, the working voltage and the cathode area influenced the current efficiency. The high current efficiency of 89% for the indirect electrochemical reduction of Vat Scarlet R could be achieved with reduction time of 10 min, working voltage of 4 V and cathode area of 40 cm2 in Fe(Ⅲ)-oxalate-calcium gluconate system.
