Abstract:In this work, phenol degradation of wastewater in a stirred tank chemical reactor was numerically simulated. The effect of the applied current density (I/A), changes in the concentration of dissolved O 2 and initial concentration of Fe 2+ ions were studied. The operation conditions were 25°C, pH = 2.5, with 1000 mM phenol feed concentration at 1 atm of pressure. The results show that the phenol removal achieved was 78.97%, 84.2%, 97.0% and 99.8% for values of I/A of 0.3, 0.32, 0.37 and 0.4 mA cm-2 , respective… Show more
