What is it about?
Organic pollutants are oxidized by anodic -Fenton process. The function of the reactor is to oxidize organic pollutants in the anolyte. While H2 is produced in the catholyte by the reduction of protons on a carbon steel cathode in acidic medium.

Why is it important?
The H2O2 highest activation rate was 1.3 mM∙min−1, corresponding to a concentration of 30 mM H2O2. The energy required was 0.03 Wh∙L−1 and the optimum time was 30 minutes. In this time, 15 mL of H2 was electrogenerated.
Perspectives
Using the optimum concentration found in this study (30 mM H2O2), an evaluation of the oxidation was carried out, in which synthetic industrial effluent (0.615 mM BB9) was used. Five minutes after the start of the electrolysis, 95% of the BB9 concentration was eliminated. According to this result, textile effluent treatment can be oxidized very fast.
