Abstract
A comparison between the performance of electrolysis of three different soil-washing wastes with platinum and boron doped diamond (BDD) anodes is carried out in this work. Results demonstrate that the treatment is more efficient with BDD for perchloroethylene and clopyralid but not for the case of lindane, because in this case there is a competitive oxidation between lindane and Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate used to extract this pollutant from soil. First order kinetics are observed in each compound with higher removal at the early stages and generally better results are obtained when using BDD as anode. The evolution of pH and a voltammetry study indicate a higher direct oxidation rate in the case of platinum and more importance of hydroxyl radical mediated processes with diamond anodes. Similar speciation is obtained during the electro-oxidation using BDD and platinum electrodes although the concentration of intermediates vary significantly.
