Abstract EN
A significant promotion effect of methanoic acid (MA) was proposed in the photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) degradation of fulvic acid (FA) and the degradation mechanism was also discussed.
The PEC degradation property of FA and MA was investigated by an assembled thin-layer PEC reactor in which photoanode is TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) material.
The result shows that only about 40% of FA was degraded, while MA could be completely degraded at the same condition.
When mixing MA with FA, it shows a significant improvement in the degradation of FA.
For instance, 50 mg/L FA mixed with 45 mg/L MA could achieve exhausted degradation.
The results could be attributed to the promotion effect of MA that enhanced the generation of hydroxyl radicals, which maintain the continuous degradation of both FA and the intermediate products during the PEC process.
This study proposed a new way of promoting the PEC degradation of FA as well as removing humus from the polluted water.
