Abstract
A three-dimensional electrochemical reactor (3DER) with Ce-modified CoFe-LDHs as particle electrodes is assembled and used to efficiently degrade N-Nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYRs) in disinfected water. The construction of hierarchical structure and oxygen vacancies accelerates the electron transfer rate, provides a suitable working potential range and reduces electrochemical resistance, which leads to improved removal efficiency. The optimised particle electrodes (Co2Fe0.84Ce0.16-LDHs@AC) achieved NPYR degradation of 81.5 % after 120 min of continuous treatment with low energy consumption of 2.4 kWh mg–1 NPYR (current density of 5 mA cm−2, flow rate of 3 mL min−1, electrolyte concentration of 0.21 mol L−1, and a pollutant concentration of 10 mg L−1). Based on GC-MS, LC-MS analysis and quenching experiments, the degradation pathway of NPYR is proposed, while reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the degradation process include •OH, O2•− and 1O2. The modification of Ce in LDHs has a significant role in enhancing degradation efficiency by accelerating the formation of ROS, which provides an efficient solution to the material design used in the 3DER system for boosting pollution degradation during water treatment.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
