Ti/SnO(2)-Sb(2)O(3)/SnO(2)-Sb(2)O(3)-CeO(2) anodes were prepared by brush coating with high temperature oxidation. The anodes were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope and cyclic voltammetry. The surface of the electrode shows more compact and exist shallower mud cracks than the others by coating with 1% Ce to the surface of Ti/SnO(2)-Sb(2)O(3) electrode. The XRD patterns show that as-prepared electrodes are SnO(2) and TiO(2). The electrode with 1% Ce dopant shows the highest efficiency in the electrolysis of caprolactam wastewater. The oxygen evolution potential is about 1.75 V, the removal rate of chemical oxygen demand is 50%, and the biochemical oxygen demand is 353 mg/L for 5 h at a current of 0.12 A.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
