PHENOL
A parametric study was completed to determine the effects of current density, temperature, pH and phenol concentration
upon the rate of electrochemical oxidation. The supporting electrolyte was 0.05M sodium sulfate. The rate of
electrochemical oxidation was monitored by measuring the change in the total organic carbon in the electrolyte as a
function of time. The results are summarized in the Table below.
|
|
Temperature (25-50 degrees C)
|
|
Increased temperature increased electrooxidation by 50%
|
|
Current Density (15-50 ma/cm2)
|
|
Increased current density decreased rate of electrooxidation
|
|
Concentration (50-500 ppm)
|
|
Increasing concentration increased the rate of electrooxidation
|
|
|
Increasing pH increased rate of electrooxidation
