Summary: In this study, a system using dissolved silicate as the electrolyte in iron-based electrochemical techniques showed clear effluent and prevented iron sludge generation, with a higher rate of DMAC degradation compared to other systems. An inhibition film on the iron electrode surface played a key role in preventing excess corrosion and catalyzing ozone decomposition. Hydroxyl radical was identified as the dominant factor in DMAC degradation in the ECO-Na2SiO3 system.

Summary: We have developed a novel cobalt doping iron carbon micro electrolysis composite Fe-Co-AC (FCA) for efficient removal of N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF). Comparative studies of FCA micro electrolysis (ME), ozone oxidation (O3) only, and micro electrolysis synergetic ozonation (ME-O3) were conducted to assess their catalytic effects on DMF degradation. Our results demonstrated that ME-O3 process exhibited high center dot OH radical yield and exceptional catalytic efficiency, which can be attributed to the optimized electron transport path and enhanced micro electrolysis synergetic catalytic ozonation performance achieved by Co doping. Furthermore, we qualitatively evaluated the relative contributions of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and related reactions, and explored the reaction mechanism of ROS generation and pollutant removal. The potential degradation paths of DMF were speculated based on organic nitrogen conversion and intermediate detection. Column experiments confirmed the practical application potential of the ME-O3 process.

Summary: Micro-electrolysis is a pretreatment technology for difficult-to-biodegrade wastewater. In this study, a chemical displacement method was used to load copper on the surface of sponge iron (s-Fe), and then it was mixed with activated carbon and other components to obtain a multi-element micro-electrolytic filler (OMEF). The results showed that OMEF had a specific surface area of 88.374 m(2)/g, various functional groups, active materials, and a better performance in terms of COD removal compared to commercial fillers.

Summary: A two-step NaOH/Na2S2O4 method was proposed to improve the decolorization efficiency of reactive-dyed cotton fabric. The decolorization mechanism of NaOH and Na2S2O4 was investigated, and it was found that Na2S2O4 decolorized the fabric more quickly than NaOH. The two-step method reduced the ineffective decomposition of Na2S2O4, resulting in a 16% higher CIE L value and retention of about 90% of the fabric's breaking strength.

Summary: In this study, a novel 3D printed casing was designed and manufactured for PEM electro-ozonizers to enhance fluid dynamics and reduce ozone-scavenger interactions during electrolysis. It was found that electrogenerated scavengers, particularly cathodically formed hydrogen peroxide, limit the efficiency of electrochemical ozone production. The effects of current density, electrolyte composition, and operation pressure on efficiency were explored, with higher efficiencies achieved at higher current densities, lower concentrations of non-reacting electrolytes, and lower operation pressures. The 3D printed casing demonstrated excellent performance with ozone productions as high as 0.240 mg/(Ah cm2) and maximum current efficiencies of 5.9% under optimal conditions, showcasing the potential of 3D printing in improving electrochemical processes.
