Article Synopsis
- Microplastics, particularly polystyrene (PS), are a growing pollutant in aquatic environments, creating a need for effective removal methods.
- The study investigates an optimized electrocatalytic oxidation (ECO) technology using a specially designed anode made from Ti/La-Sb-SnO, enhanced with cobalt (Co) as an intermediate layer for better performance and longevity in degrading PS microplastics.
- Results indicate that Co significantly improves the lifespan of the electrode and maintains degradation efficiency at a heat treatment temperature of 400 °C, achieving a PS removal rate of 28.0%, while also generating various degradation products through oxidation.
Removal of organic matter and ammonia nitrogen from landfill leachate by ultrasound.
Ultrason Sonochem
September 2008
Experiments on the removal of organic matters and ammonia nitrogen from landfill leachate by ultrasound irradiation were carried out. The effects of COD reduction and ammonia removal of power input, initial concentration, initial pH and aeration were studied. It was found that the sonolysis of organic matters proceeds via reaction with ()OH radicals; a thermal reaction also occurs with a small contribution.
