Abstract
In this study, cobalt etched graphite felt electrodes were produced using a simple etching technique. It was used in combination with a solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) for the degradation of the target contaminant Orange II by Electro-Fenton (EF) technique in low conductivity water. In this method, 94% of Orange II in low conductivity water was removed in 90 min. The characterization analysis substantiates the hypothesis that the electrodes produced exhibit a three-dimensional porous structure, augmented defect concentration, and enhanced electron transfer capability. In addition, the potential reaction mechanism was inferred from the radical quenching experiments, and hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were deemed the main reactive substances. The combination of cobalt etched graphite felt electrodes with SPE demonstrates remarkable efficacy in the treatment of organic wastewater characterized by low electrical conductivity.

Abstract
Electro-peroxone (EP) reaction has been considered as a promising process for real effluent treatments. However, the use of the technology in natural water conditions is limited by low electrical conductivity and high operating costs. Herein, a novel electrochemical system was designed to overcome this constrain by coupling EP with a solid polymer electrolyte (EP-SPE). Performances of EP-SPE system were thoroughly evaluated by comparing the decomposition and energy efficiencies of various plasticizers in different systems. The EP-SPE system achieved 50% of pollutants mineralization in only 10 min with the electrolysis energy consumption of 1.0kWh·m-3, While the conventional EP system (not) adding salt compounds (CEP-(N) AS) need 30 (60) min to reach 50% of pollutants mineralization with 3.8(26.6)kWh·m-3. Kinetics and mechanisms of EP-SPE were investigated in detail, while electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) detection and kinetic model revealed the occurrence, transient concentration and degradation contribution of reactive oxidizing species (ROS). Furthermore, tests of variety of SPEs and natural waters demonstrated universal applicability of EP-SPE. Additionally, EP-SPE did not show any performance deterioration after 15 runs. Therefore, this work provides a feasible technology for plasticizer purification in natural water.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 289:133014. [PMID: 34864013 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.133014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2021] [Revised: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/18/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Coal tar wastewater is hard to degrade by traditional methods because of its toxic pollutant constituents and high concentration of aromatic hydrocarbons, especially phenolic substances. A new type of hydrophobic benzacetone modified PbO2 anode (BA-PbO2 electrodes) was used for the electrocatalytic treatment of coal tar wastewater in a continuous cycle reactor. The surface morphology, structure, valences of elements, hydrophobicity, hydroxyl radical (·OH) produced capacity, electrochemical properties and stability of BA-PbO2 electrodes were characterized by SEM (scanning electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), contact angle, a fluorescence probe test, an electrochemical workstation and accelerated life test, respectively. The BA-PbO2 electrodes exhibited a compact structure and finely dispersed crystallize size of 4.6 nm. The optimum degradation conditions of coal tar wastewater were as follows: current density of 90 mA cm-2, electrode gap of 1 cm and temperature at 25 °C with flow velocity of 80 L h-1. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency reached 92.39% after 240 min of degradation under the optimized conditions and the after-treatment COD value was 379.51 mg L-1 which was lower than the centralized emission standard (less than 400 mg L-1). These findings demonstrated the feasibility and efficiency of electrocatalytically degrading coal tar wastewater by BA-PbO2 electrodes. The possible mechanism and pathway for phenol a specific pollutant in coal tar wastewater were investigated by quantum chemistry calculations (Multiwfn) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The toxicity of each intermediate was predicted by the ECOSAR program.
