Phenol, a known water pollutant, was electrochemically oxidized on a steel/IrO2–Sb2O3 novel anode. Since the oxidation mechanisms vary based on the anode material, a mechanisms study of electrooxidation of phenol on it was conducted. The phenol oxidation was carried out at 20 mA/cm2 constant current density with a pH 11.00 Na2SO4 medium at room temperature. During 6 h of electrolysis, samples were tested for chemical oxygen demand removal efficiency of the anode. The steel/IrO2–Sb2O3anode showed 76.3% chemical oxygen demand removal efficiency. Both 4-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline and the HCO3–/CO32– radical scavenger tests confirmed the formation and presence of the hydroxyl radicals in the system. Therefore, it was concluded that the hydroxyl radicals that are generated on the anode surface are the main cause for the oxidation mechanism. Moreover, ICE, HPLC, and UV-vis absorbance and cyclic voltammetry results confirmed the presence of catechol and benzoquinone as intermediates and the reaction mechanism.

The objective of this work is to evaluate the impact of innovative modifications made to conventional effluent capture and discharge devices used in subsurface flow wetlands (SSFW). The main modifications that have been developed extend the influence of the capture and discharge device in such a way that the SSFW width and height are fully covered. This improved innovative device was applied and evaluated in two subsurface flow wetlands, one on a pilot scale and one on a real scale. To evaluate the impact of the innovative device with respect to the conventional one in the operational functioning of subsurface flow wetlands, the elimination of chemical oxygen demand (COD) was measured and compared. The results show that for the innovative device, the COD removal was 10% higher than for the conventional device, confirming the validity and effectiveness of the modifications implemented in the effluent capture and discharge devices used in SSFW.
