Mechanism of N,N-dimethylformamide electrochemical oxidation using a Ti/RuO₂-IrO₂ electrode.

ABSTRACT: The compound N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) is a widely used industrial chemical and a common environmental contaminant that has been found to be harmful to human health. In this study, electrochemical oxidation was adopted for the degradation of DMF. The effects of four kinds of electrodes on the removal rates of DMF and total organic carbon were compared, and based on the result, the Ti/RuO₂-IrO₂ electrode was selected as the operating electrode. The effects of three independent factors (current density, pH, and NaCl proportion) on the DMF degradation were investigated through single-factor experiments, and the experimental results were optimized by response surface methodology. The optimal experimental conditions were obtained as follows: current density
