Water pollution control and the development of clean technologies are crucial challenges for modern society. This research focuses on the fabrication of a novel carbon nanotube modified titanium electrode for in-situ ozone generation, which showed higher efficiency and degradation performance compared to previous studies.
Water pollution control and the development of clean technologies for water, air and soil treatments comprise one of the most important challenges for modern society. Ozone is known as a strong and clean oxidizing agent that can be used for water and wastewater treatment. In this research, a novel Ti/TiHx/SnO2-Sb2O5-NiO-CNT modified titanium electrode containing carbon nanotubes (CNT) was fabricated for in-situ ozone generation. The electrode was characterized using SEM, XRD and LSV techniques. CNT presence caused an increase in ozone generation efficiency leading to the higher concentrations of dissolved ozone in water compared to the recently reported researchers. Ozone generation at the surface of the electrode was determined using the standard indigo method. Electrochemical ozone was further used in degradation of C.I. Reactive red 195 (RR 195). It was found that the modified electrode could degrade 96% of RR 195 from initial concentration of 300 mg.L-1 in 30 min under current density of 20 mA.cm(-2). COD removal was also measured as high as 60 percent.
