Electrocatalytic Reaction as Efficient Removal Method for Ammonia Pollutant in Textile Wastewater
Research Square (Research Square)(2022)
摘要
Abstract Textile wastewater has the potential to contain high ammonia, especially from the printing process. Nitrification-denitrification becomes the focus of treatment for this pollutant so comes the main source of the inability of the WWTP to meet the quality standards. An electrocatalytic reactor consisting of a cylindrical Ti/RuO2 anode and a copper pipe cathode (Cu) has been applied as new alternative technology. The reactor capacity is made of 1 liter with a fixed distance between the electrodes of 2 cm. Potential voltage, salt content, and hydraulic retention time are parameters for variable operation. The reactor had a high performance where ammonia concentration can be reduced by 70% for HRT of 15 minutes and 100% for 30 minutes. The ammonia removal is not only affected by processing time but also by the potential electrode and salt concentration. The removal was obtained at a complete level (100%) in operating conditions where the salt content of 2000 mg/L, a voltage of 7 volts, and an HRT of 30 minutes. The ammonia removal rate follows reaction order 1 with k of 0.1679 dan R2 of 0.9369. The pathway of nitrogen transforming ammonia directly to gas nitrogen was not through other forms (nitrate or nitrite). This method is a high-promise to improve the performance of the textile industry WWTP.
