Electrochemical Plasma for Treating 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic Acid in a Water Environment Using Iron Electrodes.

ABSTRACT: Herbicide compounds containing aromatic rings and chlorine atoms, such as 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4,5-T), cause serious environmental pollution. Furthermore, these compounds are very difficult to decompose by chemical, physical, and biological techniques. Fortunately, the high-voltage direct current electrochemical technique can be controlled to form a plasma on metallic electrodes. It creates active species, such as H₂, O₂, and H₂O₂, and free radicals, such as H^•, O^•, and OH^•. Free radicals that have a high oxidation potential (e.g., OH^•) are highly effective in oxidizing benzene-oring compounds. Iron electrodes are used in the study to combine the dissolving process of the iron anode electrode
