Electro-Catalytic Oxidation-Reduction (ECOR)Issuing time:2023-07-16 14:48 When the electrodes coated with special noble metals are electrified, electro-catalytic oxidation (ECO) and electro-catalytic reduction (ECR) are carried out simultaneously, so that persistent organic pollutants can be effectively degraded and mineralized. (1)ECO: ECO primarily mineralizes organic pollutants and ammonia nitrogen in wastewater directly through the anode, or it utilizes strong oxidizing agents (such as hydroxyl radicals and ozone) produced on the anode during electro-catalytic processes to indirectly degrade organic matter. As a result, based on the different oxidation mechanisms during electrolysis, electro_x0002_catalytic oxidation can be divided into direct and indirect oxidation processes. (2)ECR: The reducing action of ECR in the system mainly serves to provide electrons for macromolecular organic pollutants, remove some functional groups, and make ECO more efficient. Also, the denitrification capability of ECR is also an important part of the system, which can reduce nitrate nitrogen to nitrogen, reduce the total nitrogen, and ensure that the effluent meets the standard.
