Bio-electrocatalytic degradation of tetracycline by stainless-steel mesh based molybdenum carbide electrode
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH(2022)
摘要
In order to treat antibiotic wastewater with high efficiency and low energy consumption, this study proposed the coupling of electrocatalytic degradation and biodegradation, and explored a new modified electrocatalytic material in the coupling system. The stainless-steel mesh based molybdenum carbide (SS-Mo2C) was prepared by a low-cost impregnation method and showed superior electrocatalytic degradation ability for tetracycline (TC) when used as the anode in the electrocatalytic system. The degradation rate of TC with SS-Mo2C anode was 17 times higher than that of stainless-steel (SS) anode, and TC removal efficiency was 77% higher than that of SS anode. The electrocatalytic system prior to the biological reactor was proven to be the optimal coupling method. The external coupling system achieved a significantly higher TC removal (87.0%) than that of the internal coupling system (65.3%) and SS-Mo2C showed an excellent repeatable and stable performance. The fewer and smaller molecular weight intermediates products were observed in bio-electrocatalytic system, especially in the external coupling system. Alpha diversity analysis further confirmed that bio-electrocatalytic system increased the diversity of the microbial community.
