This study examined the degradation of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) in electrochemical oxidation (EO) processes in the presence of trichloroethylene (TCE). The EO experiment was performed in a gas-tight reactor using Magnéli phase titanium suboxide (Ti4O7) as the anode. The experimental data demonstrated that 75% of PFOS (2 μM) was degraded at 10 mA/cm2 current density in 30 min without TCE present in the solution, while the presence of 76 μM TCE apparently inhibited the degradation of PFOS, reducing its removal down to 53%. Defluorination ratio suggested that PFOS was significantly mineralized upon EO treatment, and it appeared to be not influenced by the presence of TCE. The respective pseudo-first order rate constants (kobs) of PFOS removal were 0.0471 and 0.0254 min-1 in the absence and presence of TCE. The degradation rates of both PFOS and TCE increased with current density rising from 2.5 to 20 mA/cm2. In the presence of TCE, chloride, chlorate, and perchlorate were formed that accounted for 79.7 %, 5.53%, and 1.51% of the total chlorine at 60 min. This work illustrates the promise of the Magnéli phase Ti4O7 electrode based electrochemical oxidation technology for degrading per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and co-contaminants in groundwaters.

The removal of ammonia nitrogen in simulated wastewater with 90mg/L NH4Cl was researched by ammonia stripping, electrochemical oxidation and the combination of the ammonia stripping and electrochemical oxidation. It is shown that the reduction of ammonia is enlarged with increasing of wastewater’s alkalinity during stripping. And the removal rates of ammonia nitrogen are 2.1% at pH2 and 43.1% at pH7 which is not related to the stripping time. The ammonia removal is higher efficiency in pH12 which is in the range of 45.1% and 61.4% when the stripping time is changed from 40 to 100 min. The removal rate of ammonia nitrogen is increased with the extension of electrolysis time by the way of the electrochemical oxidation. For 100min electrolysis, the ammonia removal in the cathodic and anodic compartments are 55.8% and 86.9%, respectively. Moreover, by using the ammonia stripping and electrochemical oxidation simultaneously, the ammonia removal in the cathodic and anodic compartments are up to 91.8% and 99.8% for 100min, respectively. The combining of the ammonia stripping with electrochemical oxidation technology has obviously synergistic effect in purifying ammonia nitrogen wastewater.

As the electrochemical oxidation technology is an effective and reliable clean technology, in this study the electrochemical oxidation activated sludge process was developed, in which the electrolysis reactor with homocentric circle arrangement electrode was installed, with Ti/RuO2 being used as reticular plates. The results showed that the electrochemical oxidation can reduce activated sludge production substantially. The lysis efficiency of activated sludge achieved was 29.98% in the experiment under the optimal oxidation conditions as follows: pH=12, 60 min of intermittent electrolysis time, working voltage of 6 V and initial VSS concentration of 4670 mg·L-1,while the SCOD and TP being released from cell lysis at the maximum of 712.2 and 33 mg·L-1 respectively; and the NH3-N also reached the maximum and presented a declining trend with operation time?, which showed that this conditions were the best for electrolysis oxidation of activated sludge.

Three-dimensional-electrode electro-Fenton is a newly electrochemical oxidation technology to treat landfill leachate. In contrast, the removal efficiencies of COD and color in DSA system are obviously higher than those in iron anode system and the organics can be degraded more thoroughly. Under the optimal operating conditions, the removal efficiencies of COD, NH3-N and color in landfill leachate by DSA system are up to 80.8% ,55.2% and 98.6%. Besides, the reaction mechanism of three-dimensional-electrode electro-Fenton is also discussed.
