主 题:Direct Borohydride Fuel Cell Bipolar Membrane Hydrogen Peroxide Electro-Fenton Photo-Electro-Fenton Water Treatment
摘 要:It was established that application of bipolar membrane in a direct borohydride fuel cell (DBFC) with H2O2 co-generation enabled to keep constant pH in catholyte within 2.5 - 3.2 limits, which allowed us to carry out treatment of water polluted by organic compounds in fuel cell catholyte. Treatment of water was carried out by electro-Fenton and photo-electro-Fenton methods. With the view of efficiency, photo-electro-Fenton method of treatment was the most efficient, which enabled to decrease COD of catholytes containing (in each case) phenol, valsaren, 400 g/L dymethoate (BI-58) and valsaciper from 500 ppm to 30, 11, 9 and 3 ppm, respectively after 180 min treatment. By increasing the catholyte temperature from 20℃?to 40℃?in the same period, phenol COD fell to 5 ppm.
