Desenvolvimento e avaliação de eletrodos de difusão gasosa (EDG) para geração de H2O2 in situ e sua aplicação na degradação do corante reativo azul 19

Abstract

This work reports the development of GDE for electrogeneration of H 2O2 and their application in the degradation process of Reactive Blue 19 dye. GDE produced by carbon black with 20% polytetrafluoroethylene generated up to 500 mg L-1 of H 2O2 through the electrolysis of acidic medium at -0.8 V vs Ag/AgCl. Reactive Blue 19 dye was degraded most efficiently with H 2O2 electrogenerated in the presence of Fe(II) ions, leading to removal of 95% of the original color and 39% of TOC at -0.8 V vs Ag/AgCl.
