A SYSTEM AND AN ELECTRODE FOR BEING USED IN THE SYSTEM FOR ADVANCED ELECTROCHEMICAL OXIDATION TO DEGRADE ORGANIC CONTAMINANTS IN AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION

摘要

A system (1) for advanced electrochemical oxidation to degrade organic contaminants in an aqueous solution (2) including an electrode (3) comprising a graphite rod (4) and a carbonaceous material (5) to electrically couple the graphite rod (4) to the carbonaceous material (5) for regulating electric current flow through the carbonaceous material (5), and an aqueous solution (2) comprising the organic contaminants, the aqueous solution (2) is electrochemically coupled to the electrode (3) which can generate the hydroxyl radicals at the surface (6) of the carbonaceous material (5) and concentrate the organic contaminants onto the surface (6) of the carbonaceous material (5), so that the hydroxyl radicals degrade the organic contaminants.
