Towards a more realistic heterogeneous electro-Fenton

Abstract: With the aim of bringing the heterogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) treatment one step closer to a more realistic operation, the scaling-up of that technology was evaluated. Assays were performed firstly at lab scale in a stirred-tank reactor and then at bench scale in a flow setup including a jet aerator and a microfluidic flow-through electrochemical cell. A fluidized-bed reactor was added to the bench-scale installation in order to retain the solid catalyst, iron-containing alginate beads. To the best of the aut… Show more

“…The activation of the above-mentioned precursor compounds is carried out via multiple alternatives such as the use of transition-metal-based catalysts (Fe, Mn, Co, Cu, V, Ru, Mo, Cr, Ce), heat, UV radiation or visible light, ultrasound and/or alkalinity of the liquid medium [25][26][27]. However, AOPs based on the Fenton process possess some drawbacks hindering their large-scale application: the narrow working pH range, the complexity of the real water matrices favoring the precipitation of the transition metals present in the catalyst, leading to the formation of sludge, and undesirable by-products [19,20,28]. Some of these disadvantages related to Fenton-based and photocatalytic-based processes are alleviated using heterogeneous catalysts [10,29].…”

“…The setup consisted on several elements: 1) a biphasic tank, which was partially filled with the solution, containing air in its upper part; 2) a pump, that provided a constant flow rate of 140 L h -1 ; 3) a jet aerator, where the pressure drop caused the aspiration of gas from the top of the tank; 4) a microfluidic flow-through electrochemical cell, with an anode-cathode layout; 5) a fluidized-bed reactor that contained the catalyst for the heterogeneous electro-Fenton assays; 6) a heat exchanger to maintain the solution temperature at 22 ºC, and 7) a compressed oxygen cylinder to pressurize the system. A schematic representation of the installation is shown in the graphical abstract, and more detailed information can be found elsewhere [21].…”

“…The cathode was elaborated by depositing onto each side of a titanium mesh (Xian Howah Technology Co., Ltd.) a 100 mL mixture of 1 g L -1 of carbon black and 5 g L -1 of polytetrafluoroethylene dispersed into isopropanol. The procedure was described in detail elsewhere [21]. Both electrodes were 8 x 9.5 cm, with a wet geometrical area of 33 cm 2 and a surface area of 49.5 cm 2 determined in a previous study [24].…”
