Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing sulfate radical free radicals to oxidize pollutants through in-situ electrocatalysis. The method comprises the steps: sulfate in wastewater is activatedin situ by an anode material with high oxygen evolution potential to generate persulfate radicals, the generated persulfate radicals are catalyzed into sulfate radical free radicals at a cathode material with electrocatalytic activity, pollutants in the wastewater are oxidized by the sulfate radical free radicals and the sulfate radical free radicals are converted into sulfate at the same time, the sulfate are activated at the anode material again, and the processes are repeated. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that sulfate ions in the water body are used for generating the sulfate radical free radicals in situ to oxidize and remove the pollutants, oxidants (such as peroxymonosulfate and peroxydisulfate) do not need to be added, and the salt concentration of thewater body cannot be increased; the water pollution control technology is high in removal efficiency and small in secondary pollution, and has the characteristic of easiness in automation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical fields of energy, environment and electrochemistry, and relates to a method for in-situ electrocatalytically generating strong oxidizing sulfate radicals to oxidize pollutants. Background technique [0002] Water pollution is one of the most important environmental problems. In recent years, emerging pollutants that are difficult to biochemically, such as persistent pollutants and endocrine disruptors, have attracted more and more attention from the public and scientific researchers. At present, the more commonly used method is to use advanced oxidation technology to achieve the degradation of such refractory biochemical pollutants. In the traditional advanced oxidation technology, hydrogen peroxide is used as the main oxidant, and it is activated into hydroxyl radicals with strong oxidation effect through the Fenton-like reaction for pollutant removal, which has been widely used in the practice of sewage treatme...
