Phenol Degradation by TiO₂ Nanotubes Film Electrode Electrocatalytic Technology

Abstract:

To explore the effect of the electrical degradation of phenolic compounds with TiO₂ under different conditions. The effects of pH, electrode distance, cell voltage, concentration of electrolyte Na₂SO₄ and the initial concentration of phenol were studied for the removal efficiency of phenol. The experiment measured that reacted for 60 min under the conditions that the original solution phenol content is 10 mg/l, the voltage is 15 V, the electrode distance is 1 cm, the electrolyte Na₂SO₄ is 0.2 mol/l, the removal efficiency of the phenol reached 99%.
