摘要
Electrochemical heterogeneous catalytic ozonation(E-catazone) is a promising and advanced oxidation technology that uses a titanium dioxide nanoflower(TiO_(2-NF))-coated porous Ti gas diffuser as an anode material.Our previous study has highlighted that the importance of the TiO_(2-NF)coating layer in enhancing*OH production and rapidly degrading O_(3)-resistant drugs.It is well known that the properties of TiO_(2-NF)are closely related to its sintering temperature.However,to date,related research has not been conducted in E-catazone systems.Thus,this study evaluated the effect of the sintering temperature on the degradation of the O_(3)-resistant drug para-chlorobenzoic acid(p-CBA) using both experimental and kinetic modeling and revealed its influence mechanism.The results indicated that the TiO_(2-NF)sintering temperature could influence p-CBA degradation and*OH production.TiO_(2-NF)prepared at 450 C showcased the highest p-CBA removal efficiency(98.5% in 5 min) at a rate of 0.82 min^(-1),and an*OH exposure of 8.41 x 10^(-10) mol L^(-1) s.Kinetic modeling results and interface characterization data revealed that the sintering temperature could alter the TiO_(2) crystallized phase and the content of surfaceadsorbed oxygen,thus affecting the two key limiting reactions in the E-catazone process.That is,≡TiO_(2) surface reacted with H_(2) O to form TiO_(2)-(OH)_(2),which then heterogeneously catalyzed O_(3) to form *OH.Consequently,E-catazone with a TiO_(2-NF)anode prepared at 450°C generated the highest surface reaction rate(5.00 x 10^(-1) s^(-1) and 4.00 x 10^(-3) L mol^(-1) s^(-1),respectively),owing to its higher anatase content and adsorbed oxygen.Thus,a rapid O_(3)-TiO_(2) reaction was achieved,resulting in an enhanced*OH formation and a highly effective p-CBA degradation.Overall,this study provides novel baseline data to improve the application of E-catazone technology.
