In this paper, the comparison of activated carbon fiber (ACF) felt and graphite cathode suggested H 2 O 2 might effectively be electrogenerated from O 2 reduction on the large surface area ACF felt cathode, this was more adaptive for electro-Fenton process. The removal of color and total organic carbon (TOC) from simulated dye wastewater containing Acid Red 14 (AR14) was experimentally investigated using electro-Fenton reaction with ACF cathode. After 360 min of electrolysis and under the operation conditions of 0.36 A current, 1 mM Fe 2C at pH 3, 70% TOC was removed as well as complete decolorization occurred. The effect of Fe 2C ion concentration and applied current were also studied in detail in the experimental runs.
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.
