Organic Waste Destruction by Indirect Electrooxidation

Process for Total Degradation of Organic Wastes by Mediated Electrooxidation

“…Furthermore, no kinetically inhibition could be observed as in case of the Co(III)/Co(II) system [10]. Generated intermediates during the oxidation process are identified [9,15,21].…”

The cooperative electrochemical oxidation of chlorophenols in anode–cathode compartments

“…The electrochemical method for treatment of such kind of wastewater has attracted a great attention recently, mainly because of its ease of control, amenability to automation, high efficiency and environmental compatibility [1]. At present, dimensionally stable anodes (DSA), which are typically prepared by thermal deposition of a thin layer of metal oxide (e.g., SnO 2 , PbO 2 , or IrO 2 ) on a base metal, have been used for the oxidation of various organic pollutants, such as phenol, chlorophenols, benzoquinone, and dye wastewater [2,3]. Usually, electrochemical treatment can accomplish the mineralization of organic pollutants by the stronger oxidant of hydroxyl radicals, which are in * Corresponding author.…”

Electrochemical oxidation of phenolic compounds using a flow-through electrolyser with porous solid electrodes

“…Leffrang et al [21] also reported this influence where the current efficiency was lowered when the applied current density was increased for phenol and chlorophenol electrochemical oxidations. A similar behaviour also can be observed in electrocatalytic hydrogenation, where, in this case, the hydrogen evolution reaction competes with the organic compound hydrogenation [22,23].…”
