Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation Process Utilizing Nb-doped TiO2 Electrodes
Abstract
An electrochemical advanced oxidation process has been developed, utilizing electrodes which generate hydroxyl free radical (HO) by oxidizing water. All substrates tested are oxidized, mostly with reaction rates proportional to the corresponding rate constants for reaction with hydroxyl. All substrates tested in the process have been destroyed. Complete oxidation of substrate molecules is the rule, and products of partial oxidation are rarely detected. Because relatively large current efficiencies can be achieved, this process is attractive in regard to energy cost. No hydrogen peroxide or ozone is required.
