Regeneration of activated carbon fiber by electro-Fenton process

Résumé

An electro-Fenton (EF) based technology using activated carbon (AC) fiber as cathode and BDD as anode has been investigated for both regeneration of AC and mineralization of organic pollutants. The large specific surface area and low intraparticle diffusion resistance of AC tissue resulted in high maximum adsorption capacity of phenol (PH) (3.7 mmol g–1) and fast adsorption kinetics. Spent AC tissue was subsequently used as the cathode during the EF process. After 6 h of treatment at 300 mA, 70% of PH was removed from the AC surface. The effectiveness of the process is ascribed to (i) direct oxidation of adsorbed PH by generated hydroxyl radicals, (ii) continuous shift of adsorption equilibrium due to oxidation of organic compounds in the bulk, and (iii) local pH change leading to electrostatic repulsive interactions. Moreover, 91% of PH removed from AC was completely mineralized, thus avoiding adsorption of degradation byproducts and accumulation of toxic compounds such as benzoquinone. Morphological and chemical characteristics of AC were not affected due to the effect of cathodic polarization protection. AC tissue was successfully reused during 10 cycles of adsorption/regeneration with regeneration efficiency ranging from 65 to 78%, in accordance with the amount of PH removed from the AC surface.
