Abstract
The oxidative degradation of phenolic compounds (4-chlorophenol and 4-nitrophenol) was studied using different electrochemical systems involving ozone formation at PbO2 anodes: (i) direct electrolysis at constant current; (ii) ex-situ use of O3 and (iii) combined use of anodically generated stream of O3/O2 fed into the cathode where H2O2 is electrogenerated by O2 reduction. We show that the latter advanced oxidation method gives the best results: it is a Fenton-type degradation of the target pollutants taking place in the cathodic compartment by reason of the highly oxidizing environment brought about by radicals that are formed mainly in the reactions of O3 with OH− and HO2
