  • Abstract:
  • Mediated electrochemical oxidation (MEO) is a promising technique for the destruction of organic compounds. In this study, the oxidation of acetic acid to CO2 was investigated in a nitric acid medium containing electro-regenerated Ag (II) as the mediator, using an undivided cell. The effects of electrolyte concentration, mediator concentration, organic molecule concentration, and temperature on the destruction process were systematically investigated. The destruction efficiency was determined by quantifying the CO2 produced during the reaction. Real-time CO2 evolution was monitored using an infrared CO2 analyzer. Based on CO2 evolution, the destruction efficiency was found to be 49.6%.
