Resumen:
The in situ generation of H2O2 and its dissociation catalyst were conducted in an undivided electrochemical cell with two set of electrodes (graphite for the former and Fe or Cu for the latter) energized by two different power sources. This arrangement allowed to conduct Electro-Fenton and Electro-Fenton like processes with less addition of chemicals than the conventional chemical process. 4-Chlorophenol was elected as model molecule. The studied variables were catalyst type (iron or copper), current density, oxygen flowrate, number and length of current pulses. It was concluded that Cu is a better catalyst for H2O2 dissociation. Within the studied conditions, a maximum of 70% removal of TOC was attained by the Electro-Fenton-Like process. At the same conditions, only a 45% of TOC removal was achieved by Electro-Fenton. It was also concluded that unlike Cu, Fe should be added only at the beginning of the process since its later addition is rather detrimental due mainly to an accelerated*OH consumption by excess of metallic ions. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
