A novel Pt/ACF (Pt supported on activated carbon fibers) electrode was successfully prepared with impregnation and electrodeposition method. Characterization of the electrodes indicated that the Pt/ACF electrode had a larger effective area and more active sites. Electrochemical degradation of ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA) in aqueous solution with Pt/ACF electrodes was investigated. The results showed that the 3% Pt/ACF electrode had a better effect on EDTA removal. The operational parameters influencing the electrochemical degradation of EDTA with 3% Pt/ACF electrode were optimized and the optimal removal of EDTA and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were 94% and 60% after 100 min on condition of the electrolyte concentration, initial concentration of EDTA, current density and initial value of pH were 0.1 mol/L, 300 mg/L, 40 mA/cm² and 5.0, respectively. The degradation intermediates of EDTA in electrochemical oxidation with 3% Pt/ACF electrode were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrum (GC-MS).
采用浸渍和电沉积法成功制备了一种新型的Pt/ACF(负载在活性炭纤维上的Pt)电极。电极表征表明,Pt/ACF电极具有更大的有效面积和更多的活性位点。研究了用Pt/ACF电极对水溶液中乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)进行电化学降解。结果表明,3%Pt/ACF电极对EDTA的去除效果较好。优化了影响3%Pt/ACF电极对EDTA电化学降解的操作参数,在电解质浓度、EDTA初始浓度、电流密度和初始pH值分别为0.1mol/L、300mg/L、40mA/cm²和5.0的条件下,100min后EDTA和化学需氧量(COD)的最佳去除率分别为94%和60%。通过气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)鉴定了3%Pt/ACF电极电化学氧化EDTA过程中的降解中间体。
