The mechanism of the electro-reduction of some azo dyes

The pH dependence of the reduction mechanism of the azo dyes Orange G and Sunset Yellow FCF was investigated using a mercury plated rotating disk electrode. The reduction was shown to proceed via a CE mechanism except at very high pH, where direct reduction was observed. It is proposed that the chem...
