Introduced in 1970, electrochemical oxidation technology has gained significant attention in wastewater treatment and disinfection due to its environmentally friendly and efficient characteristics. When coupled with flocculation, biochemistry, membrane treatment, and other technologies, it offers remarkable advantages and promising prospects for the deep purification and treatment of highly concentrated refractory wastewater.

Utilizing boron-doped diamond as the electrode anode material, electrochemical oxidation technology can effectively degrade organic compounds through direct and indirect oxidation processes. Direct oxidation involves the removal of organic matter by adsorbing organic pollutants onto the anode surface through electron transfer. 

This process can further be categorized into electrochemical conversion and electrochemical combustion based on the degree of oxidation. Indirect oxidation, on the other hand, involves the removal of organic pollutants by generating active intermediates or high oxidizing metal oxides on the anode surface.

Hydroxyl radicals is one of the most powerful oxidizing agent for removing persistent organic compounds

Water, being a polar molecule, exhibits a positive and negative end. During the process of water electrolysis, the positively charged hydrogen atoms are attracted to the negatively charged electrode (cathode). 

While the negatively charged oxygen atom is drawn towards the positively charged electrode (anode). As a result, the water molecules dissociate into their respective ions: hydrogen ions (H+) at the cathode and hydroxide ions (OH-) at the anode.

The water electrolysis process can be summarized by the following half-reactions:

At the cathode: 2H+ + 2e- -> H2 (hydrogen gas)

At the anode: O2 + 2H2O + 4e- -> 4OH- (oxygen gas)

Advantages of boron doped diamond electrode for wastewater treatment: largest oxygen evolution potential and highest hydroxyl radicals generation efficiency amongst electrode materials

Boron doped diamond electrodes offering an expansive potential window in aqueous solutions and impressively low background currents. Testing results indicated boron doped diamond electrode create much wider potential window between anode and cathode than conventional electrode materials.                                                                                        Higher oxygen evolution potential brought by wider potential window boosts hydroxyl radical productivity, hydroxyl radicals perform non-selective mineralization of majority of bio-refractory organic compounds, therefore boron doped diamond electrode demonstrates unmatched electrochemical removal efficiency toward organic compounds via water electrolysis.                                                                                                   That explains why choose boron doped diamond electrode for wastewater treatment, especially bio-refractory organic wastewater in industrial effluents.
