2,4,6-Trinitrophenol is a toxic aromatic nitro-compounds that widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical and pesticide production. Due to its stable structure and poor biodegradability, advanced electrocatalytic oxidation technology was selected to treat simulated wastewater. The goal of the present work is to optimize the electrolysis conditions such as current density, electrolysis pH, and electrolyte concentration. A Pt modified TiO2 electrode was chosen as the anode accompanied with a titanium electrode of the same size as the cathode The results showed that the removal efficiency of 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol was the highest when the current density was 20mA/cm2, electrolyte pH=5, electrolyte concentration was 2 g/L. Under the optimal condition, the removal rate of 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol reached 99.76% after 120 minutes electrolysis. The decay of TNP could also be described by the pseudo-first-order kinetics formula with respect to TNP concentration. Therefore, electrocatalytic oxidation technology might provide an effective method for the degradation of nitroaromatic organic compounds.

Based on a static experiment, this study researched the electrochemical oxidation process of simulated dye wastewater containing Acid Scarlet 3R in the two-dimensional electrolysing cell. This experiment investigated the effect of such various factors as current density, initial concentration, supporting electrolyte concentration, and the initial pH value on the color removal. The results of the experiment clearly indicated that the rate of color removal increased when the current density was increasing gradually; it decreased when the initial concentration was increasing; it originally increased and then decreased when concentration of electrolytes was increasing; alkaline condition was not conducive to the removal of color, and the effect of decolorization was better under an acid condition than under an alkaline condition. The optimum condition of disposing of dye wastewater is when the current density is 7Am/cm², electrolyte concentration is 0.04mol/L, pH=2.5, under the condition of which the color removal rate could be 96.06%.

The article deals with the process of electrochemical dissolution of zinc polarization by alternating current of 50 Hz frequency in a solution of sodium sulfate. The influence of various parameters on the current efficiency of zinc dissolution was considered: the current density on the titanium and zinc electrodes, electrolyte concentration, duration of electrolysis and temperature of electrolyte. It was shown that at change of current density on the titanium electrode from 10 kA/m2 up to 70 kA/m2 current efficiency of zinc dissolution increases (55%), and further down. At change of current density of zinc electrode from 200 A/m2 to 800 A/m2, electrolysis time from 0.25 to 2.0 hours and increase of temperature from 20°C to 80°C the current efficiency of dissolution decreases and with increasing concentrations of sodium sulphate increases to 90%. Based on the results shown it is possible to create a waste-free synthesis of zinc compounds from environmental harmful residues of zinc metal by electrochemical technology.

This study has shown that microorganisms can adapt to degrade mixtures of aromatic pollutants at relatively high rates in the μg/l concentration range. The biodegradation rates of the following compounds were investigated in biofilm systems: aromatic hydrocarbons, phenol, methylphenols, chlorophenols, nitrophenol, chlorobenzenes and aromatic nitrogen-, sulphur- or oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds (NSO-compounds). Furthermore, a comparison with degradation rates observed for easily degradable organics is also presented. At concentrations below 20-100 μg/l the degradation of the aromatic compounds was typically controlled by first order kinetics. The first-order surface removal rate constants were surprisingly similar, ranging from 2 to 4 m/d. It appears that NSO-compounds inhibit the degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons, even at very low concentrations of NSO-compounds. Under nitrate-reducing conditions, toluene was easily biodegraded. The xylenes and ethylbenzene were degraded cometabolically if toluene was used as a primary carbon source; their removal was influenced by competitive inhibition with toluene. These interaction phenomena are discussed in this paper and a kinetic model taking into account cometabolism and competitive inhibition is proposed.

This study examined the degradation of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) in electrochemical oxidation (EO) processes in the presence of trichloroethylene (TCE). The EO experiment was performed in a gas-tight reactor using Magnéli phase titanium suboxide (Ti4O7) as the anode. The experimental data demonstrated that 75% of PFOS (2 μM) was degraded at 10 mA/cm2 current density in 30 min without TCE present in the solution, while the presence of 76 μM TCE apparently inhibited the degradation of PFOS, reducing its removal down to 53%. Defluorination ratio suggested that PFOS was significantly mineralized upon EO treatment, and it appeared to be not influenced by the presence of TCE. The respective pseudo-first order rate constants (kobs) of PFOS removal were 0.0471 and 0.0254 min-1 in the absence and presence of TCE. The degradation rates of both PFOS and TCE increased with current density rising from 2.5 to 20 mA/cm2. In the presence of TCE, chloride, chlorate, and perchlorate were formed that accounted for 79.7 %, 5.53%, and 1.51% of the total chlorine at 60 min. This work illustrates the promise of the Magnéli phase Ti4O7 electrode based electrochemical oxidation technology for degrading per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and co-contaminants in groundwaters.

Bioactive calcium phosphate coatings were deposited on carbon/carbon(C/C) composites using electrochemical deposition technique. The effects of electrolyte concentration and constant current density on morphology, structure and composition of the coating were systematically investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results show that, the coating weight elevated gradually with the increase of electrolyte concentration, and the morphology of coatings changed from spherical particles to nanolamellar crystals with interlocking structure initially. Then the coating transformed into seaweed-like and nano/micro-sized crystals along the depth direction of the coating. The coatings showed seaweed-like morphology as the deposition current density was less than 20mA. With the less current density, the coating became more homogenous. However, the coating was fiakiness crysal, with needlike crystal stacked upside as the current density reached to 20mA/cm2. The coating weight was improved gradually when the current density increased from 2.5mA/cm2 to 10mA/cm2, then reduced with the increasing current density in the range of 10 to 20mA/cm2.

The quality of water from traditional two-stage biochemical treatment process of papermaking wastewater cannot meet the pollutants discharge standard of paper industry,therefore it is necessary to develop new advanced treatment processes to further treat the effluent. This paper adopts the homogeneous Fenton oxidation technology to treat the effluent from a secondary sedimentation tank of a papermaking factory by batch experiments. The optimum reaction conditions are H2O2dosage 6.54mmol/L, FeSO4.7H2O dosage 200mg/L, pH=3, t=1.5h and of all the experiments the dosage of polyacrylamide is 3ppm. The COD of the treated water is under 50mg/L and its removal rate can reach as high as 75.4%, the chroma almost falls to zero, the effluent meets the first grade of the national wastewater discharge standard. Therefore, the homogeneous Fenton is an effective alternative for papermaking wastewater advanced treatment, due to its high effect.

In this study, the ability of the electrochemical process to remove aqueous high concentration phenol using an electrochemical cell with aluminum anode and cathode was examined. The removal rate of phenol was monitored using different parameters phenol concentration, pH, electrolysis time, current density, and electrode distance. Obtained results indicated that the low removal rates of phenol were observed at both low and high pH. However, the removal rate of phenol increased with an increase in the current density, each electrochemical process conditions need a certain electrodes distance. removal rate of phenol decreased with the increase in the initial phenol concentration. The maximum removal rate of phenol obtained from this study was 82%.

The electrochemical oxidation of the Rhodamine B dye (Rh-B) was carried out using dimensionally stable type anode (DSA, Ti/Ru0.3Ti0.7O2). The work was performed using the electrochemical flow cell system. The effect of several operating factors, such as supporting electrolytes, current density, electrolysis time, temperature, and initial concentration of Rh-B dye, were investigated. The UV-visible spectroscopy and chemical oxygen demand (COD) measurements were conducted to monitor the removal and degradation of Rh-B. The best color removal achieved was found to be 98.3% after 10 min applying 3.9 mA·cm−2 as a current density using 0.07 mol·L−1 of NaCl. Meanwhile, the highest COD removal rate (93.0%) was obtained for an applied current density of 3.9 mA·cm−2 as the optimal operating condition after 180 min reaction time, with 2.98 kW h·m−3 as energy consumption. This shows that the best conditions for color removal are not certainly the same as those for the COD removal. The rises in the concentration of NaCl, and applied current increased the Rh-B color removal rate. The decline in Rh-B dye concentration followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The obtained values of apparent rate constant were increased by increasing chloride ion concentration. It is concluded that the electro-oxidation on DSA electrode using a flow cell is a suitable process for the removal of Rh-B dye in aqueous solutions.
