摘要
In this study, treatment of simulated alkali decrement wastewater containing terephthalic acid (TPA) has been investigated by electrochemical treatment using stainless steel as electrode material. Five operational parameters, namely current density: 31:25-156.25 A/m(2); electrode gap: 1-2 cm; NaCl concentration: 0-2 g/l; pH: 7-12 and TPA concentration: 400-1000 mg/l were investigated for their effect removal efficiency. For a solution having 400 mg/l TPA and 560 mg/l chemical oxygen demand (COD), 72% COD removal and approximate to 77% TPA removal efficiency was obtained at optimal conditions of current density approximate to 118 A/m(2), electrode gap = 1 cm and pH approximate to 7. Presence of ethylene glycol in the wastewater was found to decrease the treatment efficiency. Settling characteristics of the slurry obtained at optimum condition have been studied. Thermal decomposition of residues has also been investigated. (C) 2013 Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
