Abstract:
Electrochemical dechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in aqueous solution was investigated on palladium-loaded meshed titanium (Pd/Ti) electrode at ambient temperature. Pd/Ti electrode was prepared with an electrodepositing method. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) micrographs show that Pd microparticles uniformly disperse on the meshed Ti supporting electrode with spheroidal structure. Dechlorination experimental results indicate that, in aqueous solution, with the current efficiency of 24.3%, the removal efficiency of 100 mg/L 2,4-DCP on Pd/Ti electrode was 93.2% under the conditions of the dechlorination current of 5 mA and dechlorination time of 90 min. The effect of initial 2,4-DCP concentration was also investigated.
