Electrochemical Oxidation Of The Phenol In The Chloride System, Yong Liu, Dan Liu, Shi-Lin Zhao, Jing-Jing Lai

Journal of Electrochemistry

The Ru-Ir /Ti electrode as cathode to electrolysis the synthetic phenolic wastewater was studied.The effect of the initial chloride concentration on the electrolytic treatment result has been discussed.Experiment result shows that the electrochemical oxidation of phenol suits to one kinetics equation in given electrolytic time.If the initial chloride concentration in wastewater increases,the time of the electrochemical oxidation of phenol can be shorten,in other words the apparent rate constant is greater.the middle matters of electrochemical oxidation of phenol in the chloride system detected out by HPLC and GC-MS is mainly 1-chloro-phenol,4-chloro-phenol,2,4-dichloro-phenol,2,6-dichloro-phenol,2,4,6-trichloro-phenol,all kinds of chlorohydrin,small aliphatic acid,and so on.The final production is …
