Abstract
The electrochemical removal of Antimony from 1m sulphuric acid in a restrained bed reactor was studied in terms of current, flow velocity, bed depth, bead size and pressure drop. Current efficiencies are quoted as a function of current density and information is given so that they may be calculated in terms of the above variables. Experimentally-obtained limiting current densities are compared with calculated values, using empirical formulae from the literature.
