β¦ Synopsis
The electrochemical oxidation of phenol for waste water treatment was studied on doped SnO2 anodes. Analysis of reaction intermediates and a carbon balance has shown that the main reaction is oxidation of phenol to CO2. This unexpected behaviour of the SnO 2 anode is explained by a change of the chemical structure of the electrode surface during anodic polarization.

Electrochemical oxidation of phenol using a Ti/TiO 2 -RuO 2 -IrO 2 anode in the presence of chloride as the supporting electrolyte was investigated. The experiments were performed in an undivided batch reactor. Preliminary investigations showed that only a small fraction of phenol was oxidized by di
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Under the current global energy scenario, the need for selfβsustainable processes is encouraged. The photovoltaic solar powered electrochemical oxidation (PSEO) process has been developed to remove the organic matter from a lignosulfonate wastewater. **RESULTS:** An ele
