The adsorption of oxygen-containing particles from potassium hydroxide solutions weres studied
at polycrystalline gold electrode. Five stable forms of oxygen has been determined as adsorption
− − ads Au OH , ads Au −O&H , ads Au −O&& and phase AuO and Au2O3. Stationary adsorption of
components are described by Temkin’s isotherm. The kinetics follows Roginski-Zeldovich equation.
