众所周知,农药对环境和人类健康构成威胁。在农业实践中过度使用农药会污染水体,导致癌症,哮喘,神经系统疾病,生殖缺陷,和荷尔蒙的破坏。电凝聚、电氧化等电化学方法因其高效、污泥产生少,和低运营成本。在电凝时,阳极金属的溶解导致金属氢氧化物络合物,其与存在于反应器中的污染物一起沉淀。同时,电浮选发生在阴极,并导致氢气气泡的产生,导致絮凝物浮选到反应器的顶面。这篇综述的重点是清除机制,动力学,建模,影响因素的影响,以及使用电凝聚和电氧化去除农药的污泥表征。主要影响因素包括小区配置、电极材料,电流密度,pH值,支持电解质浓度。总的来说,铝和铁是使用电凝法去除农药最常见的电极,而硼掺杂的金刚石在更大程度上用作电氧化研究中的电极。在两个过程中观察到大于99%的去除效率。总的来说,这篇综述总结了电化学方法在农药去除中的应用,并为该研究领域的研究人员提供了有价值的信息。
Pesticides are known to be threats to the environment and human health. Excessive use of pesticides in agricultural practice can contaminate water bodies, leading to cancer, asthma, neurological disorders, reproductive defects, and hormonal disruption. Electrochemical methods such as electrocoagulation and electrooxidation can be used for pesticide removal due to their numerous advantages such as high efficiency, less sludge production, and low operational cost. During electrocoagulation, dissolution of anode metals results in metal hydroxide complexes, which precipitate with the contaminant present in the reactor. Simultaneously, electro-flotation occurs at the cathode and results in the evolution of hydrogen gas bubbles, leading to flotation of floc to the top surface of the reactor. This
review focuses on the removal mechanisms, kinetics, modeling, effects of influencing factors, and sludge characterization of pesticide removal using electrocoagulation and electrooxidation. Major influencing factors include cell configuration, electrode material, current density, pH, supporting electrolyte concentration. In general, aluminum and iron are the most common electrodes used for pesticide removal using electrocoagulation, while boron-doped diamond was used to a far greater extent as the electrode in electrooxidation studies. Greater than 99% removal efficiency was observed in both processes. Overall, this
review summarizes the use of electrochemical methods for pesticide removal and offers valuable information to researchers in this area of study.
