- Tubular porous electrode was fabricated and its reactor (TPER) was assembled.
- TPER can enlarge electrochemical active area and enhance mass transfer.
- TPER can remove triazole fungicides from tailwater with low current density.
- The treated tailwater meets the Class 1 of National discharges standard of China.
Pesticide tailwater often contains residual and toxic contaminants of triazole fungicides (TFs) due to their poor biodegradability which will do great harm to local aquatic systems. For this case, a novel electrochemical reactor (TPER) equipped a tubular porous RuO2-Sb2O5-SnO2 electrode was assembled and then employed to deeply treat pesticide tailwater. Characterizations of the electrode studied by SEM, EDS and XRD analysis indicated that it owns a porous structure and a compact and crack-free surface. Influence of the porous structure on electrochemical property was examined by cyclic voltammetry and normal pulse voltammetry. The results indicated that porous structure can not only enlarge electrochemical active area but also increase mass transfer efficiency by 5.7-fold in flow-through mode compared with batch mode. Furthermore, the optimal operating conditions of TPER were flow rate of 250Â mLÂ minâ1 and current density of 4Â mAÂ cmâ2. After 1.5Â h treatment under these conditions, Tz, TC and PPC were removed by 98.9%, 99.0% and 98.4% respectively, while 81.9% of COD was also removed. Additionally, the microbial content was dropped to 0Â CFUÂ mLâ1 and fecal coliform was lower than 2Â MPN (100Â mL)â1. All results demonstrated that the treated tailwater has met the Class 1 of National Discharge Standard of China. Especially, operating cost of TPER was only $ 0.33 per ton. The excellent performance together with the low cost indicated that TPER is a promising option for depth treatment of industrial tailwater.
