Molybdenum oxide catalyst for wastewater treatment studied by faradaic efficiency
The measurements of gas volumes evolved during electrochemical wastewater treatment provide the information on the process faradaic efficiency. This work demonstrates how it enables identification of the water oxidation pathway (2 or 4 electron) in flow electrolysis process through the application of the formulae suggested in the study. This way, the real wastewater oxidation strength, i.e. production of hydrogen peroxide can be determined based on calculations. These provide more accurate results than direct measurements of accumulated hydrogen peroxide concentration after the electrolysis process, as its instability may lead to its immediate decomposition and false results. As an example provided in the paper, the application of MoO3 as a catalyst in the carbon composite electrode indicates almost no hydrogen peroxide detected after the process, whereas its oxidative properties owing to production of hydroxyradicals demonstrate complete decomposition of wastewater analogue (methylene blue). The calculations point to high production of H2O2. Using pure carbon material without the catalyst in the same experiment, decomposition occurs at much lower rate. The possible mechanisms behind the processes are discussed. The approach presented in the work can aid to efficient development of catalysts towards two-electron water oxidation.
