简介:Anovelhighgravitymulti-concentriccylinderelectrodes-rotatingbed(MCCE-RB)wasdevelopedfortheelectrocatalyticdegradationofphenolwastewaterinordertoenhancethemasstransferwiththeself-madeRuO2-IrO2-SnO2/Tianodes.Theinfluencesofelectriccurrentdensity,inletliquidcirculationflowrate,highgravityfactor,sodiumchlorideconcentration,andinitialpHvalueonphenoldegradationefficiencywereinvestigated,withtheoptimaloperatingconditionsdetermined.Theresultsshowedthatundertheoptimaloperatingconditionscoveringacurrentdensityof35mA/cm^2,aninletliquidcirculationflowrateof48L/h,ahighgravityfactorof20,asodiumchlorideconcentrationof8.5g/L,aninitialpHvalueof6.5,areactiontimeof100min,andaninitialphenolconcentrationof500mg/L,theefficiencyforremovalofphenolreached99.7%,whichwasimprovedby10.4%ascomparedtothatachievedinthenormalgravityfield.Thetendencyregardingthechangeinefficiencyforremovalofphenol,totalorganiccarbon(TOC),andchemicaloxygendemand(COD)overtimewasstudied.Theintermediatesanddegradationpathwayofphenolwerededucedbyhighperformanceliquidchromatography(HPLC).
