Complete Destruction of p-Nitrophenol in Aqueous Medium by Electro-Fenton Method
Abstract
An indirect electrochemical method, which is very efficient for the degradation of organic pollutants in water, is described. The method, named electro-Fenton, is based on electrocatalytical generation of Fenton's reagent to produce hydroxyl radicals, which are very active toward organic compounds. An industrial pollutant, p -nitrophenol (PNP), was chosen for this study and was eventually mineralized. The major intermediary degradation products such as hydroquinone, benzoquinone, 4-nitrocatechol, 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene and 3,4,5-trihydroxy- nitrobenzene were unequivocally identified by HPLC and GC-MS methods. The rate constants of the hydroxylation reactions were determined. The mineralization of the initial pollutant and the intermediates formed during electro-Fenton treatment was followed by total organic carbon (TOC) analyses. Dependence of mineralization on the amount of electrical energy consumed is shown by the relative decrease of TOC values. A mineralization reaction mechanism is proposed.

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.
