Abstract

Continuous experiments were conducted to evaluate the electrolytic performance of a novel 3-dimensional electrolytic cell consisting of granular Pt/Ti electrodes. The electric current efficiency to decompose indigotrisulfonate was approx. 96%, while energy consumption was one to two orders of magnitude smaller than that for O₃ treatment. Furthermore, the cell was successfully applied to treat trace endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and chlorinated compounds. Energy consumption was in the range of 2 to 10 Wh/m³. From these results, it was concluded that the present electrolytic cell would be a feasible alternative to conventional oxidation processes in water treatment.
