Degradation of p-Chlorphenol in the Water by Electrical Chemistry Oxidation

The degradation of p-chlorphenol in the wastewater by electrochemical oxidation using graphite electrode was studied and the influence of the concentration of supporting electrolytes,initial p-chlorphenol concentration,and initial pH were investigated.The results showed that the influence of initial pH on p-chlorphenol removal rate was the most prominent,especially when initial pH was smaller than 3.5,the p-chlorphenol removal rate was more than 80%.With the electric pressure of 5V,the concentration of supporting electrolytes of 0.03mol/L,the initial pH of 2.9 and the interpole gap of 15mm,the pchlorphenol removal rate was the best.
