Intense Electrochemical Oxidation on Graphitized Carbon Electrodes in the Presence of Ozone
Abstract
A new intense oxidation process for water treatment in which oxidation with ozone is coupled to electrochemical processes is described, and the results from its application to water purification are presented along with the discussion of its practical implementation. The use of graphitized carbon materials for this process is explained and tested experimentally. The use of glassy carbon for the anode enables us to achieve very high (up to 25 vol %) concentrations of ozone in the generated ozone-oxygen mixture. The material used for the cathode—graphitized carbon cloth (GCC) reinforced with Ni allows different electrocatalytic processes to proceed on its developed surface, and combines the high sorption capacity of this cathode and potentialcontrolled selectivity of cathodic electrochemical processes.
