Abstract

The electrochem. oxidn. of phenol in the presence of NaCl for wastewater treatment was studied at Ti/SnO2 and Ti/IrO2 anodes. The presence of NaCl catalyzes the anodic oxidn. of phenol only at Ti/IrO2 anodes due to the participation of electrogenerated ClO- in the oxidn. Anal. of the oxidn. products showed that initially organochlorinated compds. are formed in the electrolyte which are further oxidized to volatile orgs. (CHCl3). [on SciFinder (R)]

Wastewater treatment

Wastewater treatment is a process which removes and eliminates contaminants from wastewater and converts this into an effluent that can be returned to the water cycle. Once returned to the water cycle, the effluent creates an acceptable impact on the environment or is reused for various purposes (called water reclamation). The treatment process takes place in a wastewater treatment plant. There are several kinds of wastewater which are treated at the appropriate type of wastewater treatment plant.

Industrial wastewater treatment

Industrial wastewater treatment describes the processes used for treating wastewater that is produced by industries as an undesirable by-product. After treatment, the treated industrial wastewater (or effluent) may be reused or released to a sanitary sewer or to a surface water in the environment. Some industrial facilities generate wastewater that can be treated in sewage treatment plants.

Sewage treatment

Sewage treatment (or domestic wastewater treatment, municipal wastewater treatment) is a type of wastewater treatment which aims to remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is suitable to discharge to the surrounding environment or an intended reuse application, thereby preventing water pollution from raw sewage discharges. Sewage contains wastewater from households and businesses and possibly pre-treated industrial wastewater. There are a high number of sewage treatment processes to choose from.
