By using ACF as the cathode, acid scarlet 3R as simulated wastewater, the experiment researches into the effect of current density, aeration, electrolyte concentration and the initial pH value on the color removal of wastewater. The results showed that: ACF cathode has a strong adsorption capacity. Oxygen is reduced to H2O2 and other oxidizing substances H2O2 on the cathode surface .Therefore, it has a strong degradation capacity to dye, which is far better than that of the stainless steel cathode; Lower operating current density helps reduce processing costs; Higher electrolyte concentration and aeration is not necessarily better, which follows certain rules; The treatment is effected greatly by the initial pH, and the effect of decolonization in the acidic conditions is better than that in alkaline conditions. When the current density is 6Am/cm², electrolyte concentration is 0.04mol•L-1, aeration capacity is 0.2m3/h, initial pH is 3.5 and the time of treatment is 70min, the decolonization rate of wastewater is 95.30 %.

In diaphragm cell, by using the porous graphite as anode, ACF as the cathode, acid scarlet 3R as simulated wastewater, the experiment researched into the effect of current density, electrolyte concentration, aeration rate and the initial pH value on the color removal of wastewater. The results show that the decolourization efficiency increased gradually when the applied current density increases, but the trend will slow down when current density exceeds a certain value. The decolourization efficiency is proved to be first increases then decreases with increased electrolyte concentration and aeration rate, both excessively high and low electrolyte concentration are unfavorable to the removal of wastewater, however the aeration effect is smaller. The effect on decolorization is greater in acid condition than in alkaline condition. As the diaphragm, electrolyzer resistance increase, its average decolourization efficiency is lower than without diaphragm cell, and the decolourization efficiency of cathode area is significantly higher than the anode area.

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%.

Electrochemical process is one of the most effective methods to enhance sludge disintegration. In this study, Ti/RuO2 anodes were prepared by Pechini’s method and the electrode surface morphology was characterized by FESEM and EDAX. The effects of various operating conditions were investigated including initial pH value of sludge, sludge concentration, electrolysis time and current density. The study showed that the removal efficiencies of TS, VS, TSS and VSS increased with the increase of pH in the alkaline range, electrolysis time and current density but decreased with the increase of initial sludge concentration. The application of electrochemical process using Ti/RuO2 electrodes enhanced the sludge disintegration for possible subsequent biological treatment.

<p>The commercial imidacloprid (IMD) insecticide [1-(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl) methyl-4,5-dihydro-N-nitro-1H-imidazole-2-amine] is widely used for the enhancement of crop production, but the intensive use of this insecticide has caused serious environmental problems. This work presents an electrochemical process for the removal of this insecticide using galvanostatic electrolysis at modified tantalum surface by lead dioxide film anode (Ta(PbO2)) anode. The electrolytic process was monitored by chemical oxygen demand (COD). The influence of operating parameters, such as current density, initial concentration of IMD, temperature and initial pH value was investigated. The COD decay follows a pseudo first-order kinetic and the process was under mass transport control. COD removal reach 97% when using an apparent current density of 100 mA cm−2, initial COD of 953 mg L−1 and at 25 °C after 4.5 h electrolysis time.</p>

Today, organic wastes (paints, pigments, etc.) are considered to be a major concern for the pollution of aqueous environments. Therefore, it is essential to find new methods to solve this problem. This research was conducted to study the use of electrochemical processes to remove organic pollutants (e.g., crystal violet (CV)) from aqueous solutions. The galvanostatic electrolysis of CV by the use of Ti/Pt/SnO2 anode, were conducted in an electrochemical cell with 100 mL of solution using Na2SO4 and NaCl as supporting electrolyte, the effect of the important electrochemical parameters: current density (20–60 mA cm−2), CV concentration (10–50 mg L−1), sodium chloride concentration (0.01–0.1 g L−1) and initial pH (2 to 10) on the efficiency of the electrochemical process was evaluated and optimized. The electrochemical treatment process of CV was monitored by the UV-visible spectrometry and the chemical oxygen demand (COD). After only 120 min, in a 0.01mol L−1 NaCl solution with a current density of 50 mA cm−2 and a pH value of 7 containing 10 mg L−1 CV, the CV removal efficiency can reach 100%, the COD removal efficiency is up to 80%. The process can therefore be considered as a suitable process for removing CV from coloured wastewater in the textile industries.

By the static experiment, we studied the electrochemical oxidation process of simulated hydroquinone wastewater (concentration for 300mg•L-1) in the three-dimensional cell. Experimental inspected how various factors of the packing quality ratio, electrolysis voltage, supporting electrolyte concentration, and the initial pH value influence the effect of the removal of hydroquinone and CODCr. The results of the experiment clearly indicated with the increase of voltage applied the removal rate of hydroquinone and CODCr increased first and then decreased, finally and increased again. In the weak alkali conditions (pH=8.5), the removal rate of hydroquinone and CODCr is the highest, Electrolyte concentration and packing quality ratio to the effect of hydroquinone by electrochemical degradation is the larger. The results of the single factor analysis show that the most suitable processing conditions of simulated hydroquinone wastewater by bipolar electrocatalysis oxidation are the Na2SO4 concentration of 0.03mol•L-1, the electrolytic voltage of 6V, the initial pH value of 8.5, the packing quality ratio of 1:2. With this condition processing 3h, the removal rate of hydroquinone and CODCr reached 83.96% and 39.9%, respectively.

To study the effect of different pH on degradation products of tinidazole pills and direct preparation of tinidazole pills, Tinidazole pills were prepared and the solution of different pH was compounded. The tinidazole content of pills and degradation products were determined by being heated at 80°C via high performance liqud chromatographic (HPLC). The number and concentration of tinidazole pills were increased with the increase of temperature and pH. Tinidazole pills in acidic conditions with the pH value within 4~5 were more stable than in neutral and alkaline conditions. It was shown that shortening the melting time and keeping pH value within 4~5 were in favor of preparation and assurance of pills quality.

The effects of pH value, VUV intensity, initial dye concentration, initial H2O2concentration, and TiO2loading dose on the degradation of three azo dyes: acid Orange 8, acid Blue 29, and acid Blue 113 were studied to explore and compare the treatment efficiencies among the adopted AOPs. It was found that pH played an important role in the degradation of dyes using VUV irradiation. For VUV/H2O2, VUV/TiO2, and VUV/TiO2/H2O2processes, the decoloration rates of the three azo dyes were more efficient under acidic conditions relative to alkaline conditions. The degradation rates of dyes increased with increasing concentrations of H2O2, but reaction rates were retarded at high concentrations of H2O2because the H2O2compound acted as a scavenger of the hydroxyl radical. In this paper, three azo dyes were decomposed efficiently by VUV irradiation only demonstrating the effectiveness of VUV direct photolysis.
