Abstract

A Co/Ti electrode for nitrate reduction was prepared by electrode-deposition. In the single-compartment electrolysis cell, nitrate (100 mg/L) removal reached nearly 100% after 3 h electrolysis under the current density of 20 mA cm–2 by using the Co/Ti electrode as cathode, and the main reduction products were ammonium nitrogen (66.5%) and nitrogen gas (33.5%). This performance on nitrate removal was comparable to a Co3O4/Ti electrode, and the electroactivity of the Co/Ti electrode towards nitrite reduction was higher than that of a Co3O4/Ti electrode. The Co/Ti electrode exhibited an improved stability with 18.7% of mass loss and 25.5% of Co dissolution compared with the Co3O4/Ti electrode after ultrasonic interference. The presence of chlorine ion (1,000 mg/L) could promote the total nitrogen (TN) removal to approximately 100% after 3 h electrolysis because of the ammonium oxidation by the free chlorine produced from the anode. In the presence of calcium (50 mg/L) and phosphate (0.5 mg/L), the nitrate removal decreased from 85.4 ± 1.5 to 57.7 ± 3.5% after ten reuse cycles. This result suggests that Ca and P should be pre-removed before the electro-reduction of nitrate.

电沉积法制备硝酸还原Co/Ti电极

采用电极沉积法制备了一种用于硝酸盐还原的钴/钛电极。在单室电解槽中，以Co/Ti电极为阴极，在20 mA cm–2的电流密度下电解3小时后，硝酸盐（100 mg/L）的去除率接近100%，主要还原产物为铵态氮（66.5%）和氮气（33.5%）。这种硝酸盐去除性能与Co3O4/Ti电极相当，并且Co/Ti电极对亚硝酸盐还原的电活性高于Co3O4/Ti电极的电活性。在超声干扰后，与Co3O4/Ti电极相比，Co/Ti电极表现出18.7%的质量损失和25.5%的Co溶解的改进的稳定性。氯离子（1000mg/L）的存在可以在电解3h后将总氮（TN）的去除率提高到约100%，因为阳极产生的游离氯会氧化铵。在钙（50mg/L）和磷酸盐（0.5mg/L）存在的情况下，10个重复使用周期后，硝酸盐的去除率从85.4±1.5%下降到57.7±3.5%。这一结果表明，在硝酸盐的电还原之前，应预先去除Ca和P。
