The kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and electrolytic glucose reduction (EGR) to sorbitol was investigated at an amalgamated Zn electrode (AZE) in sulfate solutions. In the presence and the absence of glucose and within the whole potential region, the reaction path of HER on amalgamated Zn electrode cannot be presented by classical Volmer-Tafel-Heyrovsky route. A kinetic model for the electrolytic hydrogenation of glucose with simultaneous H-2 generation at AZE was developed and tested in this paper. The model contains rate equations for the individual Volmer, Heyrovsky and glucose hydrogenation steps, a Langmuir adsorption isotherm for glucose, and an equation describing current efficiencies as a function of current density and concentration of glucose. The theory accurately predicted polarization data and glucose hydrogenation rates.
