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.

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 laboratory-made dicyandiamide formaldehyde polymer is used to study the effect of the flocculation treatment of simulated wastewater of You Li Su-hong EB. And the influencing factors mainly include flocculant dosage, pH and temperature. The experimental results show that when the dicyandiamide formaldehyde flocculant dosage is 8mL / L and pH is acidic or neutral, COD and color removal rate are the highest that have reached more than 70%. Besides, temperature has little effect on the flocculation treatment, and room temperature is enough to make the treatment effect good. Finally compared with the commonly used flocculant PAC, dicyandiamide formaldehyde polymer treatment effect is better with less addition.

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.

A series of La-doped mesoporous bioactive glass (BG-La) materials with excellent biosafety and hypotoxicity have been prepared and tested as adsorbent. The study was aimed to evaluate the possibility of utilizing BG-La for the adsorptive removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution and test the adsorption and desorption behavior of this new material. The process parameters affecting adsorption behaviors such as pH, contact time, and initial concentration and the photocatalytic degradation of MB were systematically investigated. The result showed that BG-La had excellent removal rate (R) of MB, and BG-La showed better photocatalytic effect than undoped mesoporous bioactive glass (BG). Furthermore, the MB loaded BG-La was easily desorbed with acid solution due to its electronegativity and mesoporous structure. The result indicated that these materials can be employed as candidates for removal of dye pollutant owing to their high removal rate, excellent photocatalytic effect, desorption performance, and their reusability.

The ash ofC. polygonoides(locally called balanza) was collected from Lakki Marwat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, and was utilized as biosorbent for methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solution. The ash was used as biosorbent without any physical or chemical treatment. The biosorbent was characterized by using various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The particle size and surface area were measured using particle size analyzer and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller equation (BET), respectively. The SEM and BET results expressed that the adsorbent has porous nature. Effects of various conditions such as initial concentration of methylene blue (MB), initial pH, contact time, dosage of biosorbent, and stirring rate were also investigated for the adsorption process. The rate of the adsorption of MB on biomass sample was fast, and equilibrium has been achieved within 1 hour. The kinetics of MB adsorption on biosorbent was studied by pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order kinetic models and the pseudo-second-order has better mathematical fit with correlation coefficient value (R2) of 0.999. The study revealed thatC. polygonoidesash proved to be an effective, alternative, inexpensive, and environmentally benign biosorbent for MB removal from aqueous solution.

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.

The electrochemical degradation of safranine T (ST) in aqueous solution was studied. The effects of current density, initial concentration of ST, initial pH values, and Na2SO4 concentration on electrocatalytic degradation of ST in the aqueous solution by Ti/PbO2 electrode were analyzed. The experimental results showed that the electrochemical oxidization reaction of ST fitted a pseudo first order kinetics model. By using the Ti/ PbO2 electrode as the anode, 99.96% of ST can be eliminated at 120 min. It means that the electrochemical degradation of ST in aqueous solution by the Ti/PbO2 electrode was very effective. The optimal reaction conditions were as follows: current density, 40 mA cm−2; initial ST concentration, 100 mg L−1; Na2SO4 concentration, 0.20 mol L−1; initial pH, 6. It can be known from the test of UV–vis and HPLC in the reaction process that the intermediates will be generated, and the possible intermediate structure was studied by HPLC–MS test. However, with the progress of degradation reaction, the intermediates will eventually be oxidized into CO2 and H2O. Cyclic voltammetry and fluorescence experiments proved that ST was indirectly oxidized through the generation of hydroxyl radicals. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the energy required to completely remove ST was 17.92 kWh/m3.
