Abstract
Degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in aqueous by glow discharge electrolysis (GDE) has been investigated. Ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectra, atomic force microscopy (AFM), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatogram–mass spectrum (GC/MS) are used to monitor the degradation process and to identify the major oxidation intermediate products. It has been found that 2,4-DCP undergoes a series of intermediate step, which leads to form a number of intermediate products, mainly isomeric chlorophenols and aliphatic acids. These products are further oxidized, eventually, mineralized into CO 2 and Cl −. A degradation pathway for 2,4-DCP is proposed on the basis of detection of intermediate compounds.
