Ultrasound-assisted electrochemical treatment for phenolic wastewater.

With the rapid development of industry, especially the rapid rise of the chemical industry, the problem of water pollution is becoming more and more serious. Among them, the discharge of organic pollutants represented by phenolic substances has always been at the forefront. In this paper, ultrasound-assisted electrochemical treatment for phenolic wastewater is investigated. The effects of ultrasonic frequency, current, pH value and the amount of fly ash-loaded titanium TiO2-Fe3+ particles on phenol removal from phenol-containing wastewater are investigated. The experimental results demonstrate that the removal rate of phenol in phenol-containing wastewater is the best when ultrasonic frequency is 45 kHz, power is 200 W, the current is 1.2 A, pH is 5 and the dosage of fly ash-loaded titanium TiO2-Fe3+ particles is 3 g. In addition, microwave-assisted-Fenton reagent treatment for phenol wastewater is investigated. The effects of Fenton reagent dosage, initial pH value, microwave power density and radiation time on phenol degradation rate are investigated. The results show that microwave can accelerate the reaction rate, reduce the number of metal ions, save the process cost and reduce the difficulty of post-treatment. Finally, the research status of phenol wastewater treatment technology at the present stage is reviewed, and the future development direction is discussed.
