Abstract

The effluent of coking wastewater comprises hundreds of refractory organics and is characterized by high toxicity and non-biodegradation. Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) have been widely applied in the field of water purification. In this study, a Ti 4 O 7 reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) was prepared using the plasma spraying method for the electro-oxidation of coking wastewater. The composition and surface morphology of the Ti 4 O 7 REM were characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was used to compare the mass transfer performance of the Ti 4 O 7 REM in traditional batch (TB) mode and flow-through (FT) mode. In the FT mode, the effects of current density and anode–cathode distance on the treatment efficiency were investigated, and the electrocatalytic performance of the anode on coking wastewater was analyzed. The results showed that the COD removal efficiency reached 76.2% with an energy consumption of 110.5 kWh kg −1 COD under the optimal condition. In addition, cathodic polarization provides an effective technique for maintaining the long-term activity of the Ti 4 O 7 REM. The three-dimensional fluorescence results and UV-vis spectrum showed that the aromatic compounds could be effectively degraded using the Ti 4 O 7 REM. The Ti 4 O 7 REM demonstrated excellent performance of electrochemical oxidation and satisfactory stability, which had a strong potential for application in the field of practical wastewater and engineering practices that respond to the concept of sustainable development.
