Abstract
Efficient electrogeneration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is critical for treatment of refractory pollutants by the electro-Fenton process. An effective strategy is developed by combining a flow-through reactor with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-modified graphite felt cathode. In this design, anodic oxygen is directly used for efficient H2O2 generation at the modified cathode. Experimental results show that the modified cathode with the optimum PTFE content can produce 29.6 mg/L of H2O2, which is 16 times higher than the unmodified graphite felt cathode for a flow rate of 3 mL/min. Maximum H2O2 production, up to 30.7 mg/L, was obtained under the following conditions: 120 mA, 3 mL/min, initial pH 13, no external aeration.
