| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An UV/electro-chlorine process using chloride ions in wastewater was developed as a new advanced oxidation process in this study. Hydroxyl radicals and chlorine radicals are produced via a photo-degradation of electrochemically generated hypochlorous acids in this process. The chlorine radicals can reproduce hypochlorous acids, which take part in the OH radical production again. A pH control system without reagent addition was also developed and applied to the UV/electro-chlorine process. As a result, the energy efficiency for organic contaminants removal with pH control was about 1.5 times higher than that without pH control. Moreover, hazardous byproducts formation like chloric acid was significantly restrained. Consequently, the UV/electro-chlorine process was thought to be technically feasible as an easily operable advanced oxidation process.
