The electrochemical degradation of the wastewater of acid blue 41 was studied with Ti/Sb-SnO2 as an anode in which the Sb-SnO2 coating was prepared with a polymeric precursor method. The conversion of acid blue 41 was carried out under galvanostatic control. The effects of current density, initial concentration of acid blue 41 and the concentration of supporting electrolyte on color removal, COD removal and instantaneous current efficiency (ICE) were investigated. The experimental results show that the color removal and COD removal enhance with increasing current density, but ICE decreases. Acid blue 41 can firstly be oxidized by the destroying the conjugated chromophore group and it is difficult that the intermediates produced during the degradation process of cid blue 41 is further degraded.

Abstract A non-sacrificial boron-doped diamond electrode was prepared in the laboratory and used as a novel anode for electrochemical oxidation of poultry slaughterhouse wastewater. This wastewater poses environmental threats as it is characterized by a high content of recalcitrant organics. The influence of several process variables, applied current density, initial pH, supporting electrolyte nature, and concentration of electrocoagulant, on chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, color removal, and turbidity removal was investigated. Results showed that raising the applied current density to 3.83 mA/cm2 has a positive effect on COD removal, color removal, and turbidity removal. These parameters increased to 100%, 90%, and 80% respectively. A low pH of 5 favored oxidants generation and consequently increased the COD removal percentage to reach 100%. Complete removal of COD had occurred in the presence of NaCl (1%) as supporting electrolyte. Na2SO4 demonstrated lower efficiency than NaCl in terms of COD removal. The COD decay kinetics follows the pseudo-first-order reaction. The simultaneous use of Na2SO4 and FeCl3 decreased the turbidity in wastewater by 98% due to electrocoagulation.

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.

This study mostly investigated the influences of electrolytic conditions and the structure of electrospinning nanofibers electrodes on the degradation of methylene blue in details. For PAN and Fe/PAN electrodes, was prepared by electrospinning.It was found that the ESF electrodes with higher specific surface area, and higher mesopore percentage could be push the electrochemical degradation. As the same time, adjusted the initial pH, increased the current, and added to electrolyte also could improve the treatment effect of electrochemical degradation. After 90min of electrolysis, the color removal efficiency of methylene blue reached 97.6% at current with 100mA, supporting electrolyte of NaCl with 0.1mol/L and initial pH with 3~5. Under the same current conditions with the Pt-Fe/PAN anodes the color removal rate of degradation were higher efficiency than the other two anodes.

AbstractMetronidazole (MNZ) is one of the pharmaceutical products which is considered as one of the most important pollutants in the environment due to its wide use and resistance to biodegradation. Hence, the purpose of this study is the optimization of the electrochemical degradation of the metronidazole (MNZ) antibiotic using electrochemical oxidation on a stainless steel316 coated with beta lead oxide (SS316/β-PbO2) anode. In the studied electrochemical process, the response surface methodology (RSM) involving a five-level ((pH (A) and electrolysis time (B), current density (C), and MNZ concentration (D)). The central composite design (CCD) was employed for optimizing and modeling of the electrochemical process in the degradation of MNZ. The preparation of SS316/β-PbO2 anode was accomplished using the electro-deposition method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were conducted for accurate evaluation and characterization of the coated electrode. The effect of influencing factors on electrochemical degradation of MNZ was studied, and the highest MNZ degradation efficiency was observed to be 98.88% after 120 min under the optimal conditions including the supporting electrolyte concentration of 1.0 g/100 cc, the initial MNZ concentration of 30.1 mg/L, pH of 4 and the current density of 9.99 mA/cm2. The linear regression coefficient (R2) between experiments and different response values in the model was 0.99. Moreover, the statistical analysis of the results indicated that in the range studied, the most effective parameters in MNZ degradation are MNZ concentration and pH. In general, it can be concluded that the electrochemical process using SS316/β-PbO2 anode can effectively eliminate metronidazole, and it can be considered as an efficient method in the degradation of various pollutants.

In the present study, photo-assisted electrochemical degradation of real textile wastewater was performed. Degradation assays were performed at constant current (40 mA cm−2) in a combined electro/photochemical flow-cell using a Ti/Ru0.3Ti0.7O2 DSA® type electrode. The results show that the method is capable of removing color and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from the effluent. Additionally, the effect of initial pH and type of supporting electrolyte (Na2SO4 or NaCl) was investigated. The principal figures of merit used in this study were COD removal and color removal (605 nm). The results show that up to 72% color and up to 59% COD removal in 120 min is possible under the operating conditions employed. Studies of the phytotoxicity of the wastewater before and after the photo-assisted degradation assays are also presented and the results demonstrate that the toxicity of the effluent is dependent on the length of electrolysis time and the treatment procedure employed.

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%.

AbstractThis paper reports the results of an investigation into enhancement of the electrochemical oxidation of p-aminophenol (4-AP) in an aqueous solution with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode, assisted by photocatalysis using a zeolite-supported TiO2 (Z-TiO2) catalyst. The BDD electrode was characterised in 0.1 M Na2SO4-supporting electrolyte and the presence of 4-AP by open-circuit potential behaviour (OCP) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The electrode behaviour was investigated in the dark and following UV irradiation and in the absence/presence of the Z-TiO2 catalyst. The electro-oxidation process was carried out using chronoamperometry (CA) and multiple-pulsed amperometry (MPA) at the selected potential under potentiostatic conditions. The electrochemical degradation process of 4-AP on the BDD electrode was improved by the application of a pulsed potential, which allowed both in-situ electrochemical cleaning of the electrode and indirect oxidation of 4-AP by oxygen evolution. The application of photocatalysis using Z-TiO2 in the 4-AP electrochemical degradation exhibited an enhanced effect when the anodic potential was set at +1.25 V vs. Ag/AgCl in the water stability region, close to the oxygen evolution potential.

Abstract A synthetic wastewater based on Algiers refinery real effluent was prepared and treated using anodic oxidation. Full factorial plan design was used to conduct the statistical analysis of the results. The aim of the study was to assess the interaction between current density (CD) and stirring degree (SD), and quantify their effects on chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal and electric energy specific consumption (EESC). With an initial COD of 487 mg/l, pH of 5.5 and 0.05 M of Na2SO4 as supporting electrolyte, it was found that a 55 rpm steering degree variation lead to a substantial gain in COD removal and energy consumption, 6% and 8.5 KWh/kg, respectively. Current density was found to have different effect on removal efficiency within the applied stirring domain, and that mass transport coefficient (km) is inversely correlated to energy consumption. Theoretical model describing the process was reviewed and the relation between concentration, hydrodynamics and applied current was emphasized.

Abstract The efficiency of color and COD removal in wastewater treatment is one of the essential factors. High color removal can encourage the reuse of wastewater as raw material in the recycled paper industry. Electrocoagulation (EC) process is effective pollutant removal in wastewater due to the adsorption, coagulation, and flotation. In this study, recycled paper industrial wastewater was used; this type of waste has a high content of disturbing pollutants, and treatment with electrocoagulation has not been widely carried out for this type of waste. EC treatment has a relatively high level of effectiveness to remove these pollutants; the influential factors studied include initial pH, applied current, supporting electrolyte, and processing time on a laboratory scale. The degradation of color, COD, and energy used was also evaluated. The best color removal was obtained as 100% at 80 minutes of process, and a COD concentration is 147 mg/L, and the energy used is 13.56 kWh/L.
