The composite electrode is large in specific surface area and high in catalytic efficiency, 90% or above of nitrate nitrogen and 70% or above of total nitrogen can be removed within 60 min through the coupling synergistic effect of graphene, Cu and Co, and the composite electrode is high in stability and repeatability and has good application prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nitrate treatment in water, and more specifically relates to a composite electrode of graphene oxide-Cu-Co / foamed titanium substrate, its preparation method and its application. Background technique [0002] Nitrate is one of the most common pollutants in groundwater. It has high mobility and is not adsorbed by clay and organic matter. With the development of human society, industrial production and agricultural activities have led to increasing nitrate emissions. Relevant data show that China's North China Plain is the area where the largest amount of fertilizer is invested in the world, and 28% of its groundwater wells exceed the maximum pollution level of nitrate nitrogen concentration (20mg / L). Excessive nitrate nitrogen content in drinking water can cause carcinogenesis, teratogenicity, mutagenicity, and cause endocrine system damage, goiter and other diseases. Therefore, the problem of nitrate nit...
