The influences of electric current density, inlet liquid circulation flowrate, high gravity factor, sodium chloride concentration,and initial pH value on phenol degradation efficiency were investigated, with the optimal operating conditions determined. The results showed that under the optimal operating conditions covering a current density of 35 mA/cm^2, an inlet liquid circulation flowrate of 48 L/h, a high gravity factor of 20, a sodium chloride concentration of 8.5 g/L, an initial pH value of 6.5, a reaction time of 100 min, and an initial phenol concentration of 500 mg/L, the efficiency for removal of phenol reached 99.7%, which was improved by 10.4% as compared to that achieved in the normal gravity field. The tendency regarding the change in efficiency for removal of phenol, total organic carbon(TOC), and chemical oxygen demand(COD)over time was studied. The intermediates and degradation pathway of phenol were deduced by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).展开更多

The results obtained from XRD, SEM, and TEM show that TiO2 can be uniforrrdy coated on the surface of SnO2 hollow spheres with the assistance of anionic surfactant. The cyclic voltammograms indicate that both TiO2 and SnO2 exhibit the activity for Li-ion storage. The charge/discharge tests show that the prepared TCS hollow spheres have a higher reversible coulomb efficiency and a better cycling stability than the uncoated SnO2 hollow spheres.展开更多

The observed initial discharge capacity is as high as 1778 mA.h/g, much higher than the theoretical value of the bulk SnO2 （1494 mA.h/g）. During the following 15 cycles, the reversible capacity decreases from 929 to 576 mA-h/g with a fading rate of 3.5% per cycle. The fading mechanism is discussed. Serious capacity fading can be avoided by reducing the cycling voltages from 0.05-3.0 to 0.4-1.2 V. At the end, SnO2 nanorods with much smaller size are synthesized and their performance as anode materials is studied. The size effect on the electrochemical properties is briefly discussed.展开更多

The electrochemical behaviour of the electrode in a sodium Ti/SnO2-Sb2O5/PbO2 electrode was studied by cyclic voltamsulfate solution and in the mixture solution of sodium sulfate and chlorimuron-ethyl was studied. The experimental results of cyclic voltammetry show that the acidic medium was suitable for the efficient electrochemical oxidation of chlorimuron-ethyl. Some electro-generated reagent was formed in the electrolysis process and chlorimuron-ethyl could be oxidized by the electro-generated reagent. A Ti/SnO2-Sb2O5/PbO2 electrode was used as the anode and the electrolysis experiment was carried out under the optimized conditions. The electrolysis process was monitored by UV-Vis spectrometry and high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）, and the chemical oxygen demand（COD） was determined by the potassium dichromate method. The mechanism of chlorimuron-ethyl to be oxided was studied primarily by the cyclic voltammetry and UV-Vis spectrometry. The results of electrolysis experiment demonstrate the possibility of the electrode to be used as an anode for the electrochemical treatment of chlorimuron-ethyl contained in waste water.展开更多

The effect of SbCl3 adding amount and sintering temperature on its electrode lifetime and oxygen evolution potential were investigated by means of EDX, SEM and XRD analysis. The results indicated that the electrode appeared the best performance when the SbCl3 adding amounts was 0.2g and the sintering temperature was 550℃. In optimized conditions Ti substrate was entirely covered by SnO2 Sb2O4 and the combinations among them were tight. Due to the use of electroplate method, the electrical conductivity, the oxygen evolution potential and the electrode lifetime were increased, so the electro catalytic activity and the electrochemical stability of the prepared electrode were found to be superior.展开更多
