Degradation of polyvinyl chloride microplastics via an electro-Fenton-like system with a TiO2/graphite cathode
Abstract
Nowadays, microplastic pollution has been brought into focus for its hazards to aquatic life. However, researches on the electrocatalytic treatment for efficient degradation of microplastics are still insufficient. Herein, an electro-Fenton like (EF-like) technology based on TiO2/graphite (TiO2/C) cathode was put forward to degrade polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a typical microplastic in water. It exhibited a remarkable performance on PVC degradation via cathodic reduction dechlorination and hydroxyl radical (OH) oxidation simultaneously. Besides, the effects of reaction temperature and initial PVC concentration were investigated. Under optimal conditions, the dechlorination efficiency of PVC reached 75 % after potentiostatic electrolysis at -0.7 V vs. Ag/AgCl for 6 h. The intermediate products were explored during the degradation of PVC microplastics. The surface morphologies and molecular weight of PVC changed accordingly. Based on these results, a possible degradation process for PVC was proposed. This work demonstrated that such a heterogeneous EF-like technology using TiO2/C cathode was hopefully to provide an eco-friendly method for microplastic wastewater treatment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
