摘要
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), known as the dominant contributor of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in textile wastewater, is very difficult to decompose by conventional treatment technologies. In this study, electrochemical oxidation using a RuO2/Ti anode was applied to treat a PVA solution. The mechanisms of PVA degradation and COD destruction were investigated, while the operating parameters affecting the mechanisms were also studied. The parameters investigated included current density, PVA concentration in waste stream, the rate of electrolyte consumption of sodium chloride, and the feed rate of wastewater. The overall mass transport, behavior of electrochemical oxidation of PVA was explained by the mathematical relationship of dimensionless numbers such as the Reynolds, Schmidt and Sherwood numbers.
