Chlorophenols are universal priority pollutants listed by all Environmental Agencies. The removal of chlorophenols from contaminated waters is carried out by microbiological and chemical methods. In this work is presented a combination of three methods that are electrochemical oxidation, electrochemical reduction and photo-Fenton-oxidation. Results performed in a micropilot reactor showed that it is feasible to degrade chlorophenols by these combined methods, with a removal rate of 82%, at a current density of 6.66 Adm -2 . The current efficiency was calculated and the results indicated that this combined method is more efficient that separated ones (electrochemical oxidation or reduction).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
