Understanding the oxidative mechanisms of chalcopyrite in various hydrothermal fluids is of great significance to improve copper extraction and to model the geochemical cycling of copper, iron, and sulfur. This paper investigated the effect of NaCl on the electrochemical oxidation of chalcopyrite at 340 °C and 21 MPa using polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Raman spectroscopy. The experimental results showed that NaCl can promote chalcopyrite leaching. As NaCl concentration increases, the protective property of the oxidation layer degraded. In the absence of NaCl, the oxidation layer that consisted of CuSn, (n ≥ 1), probably with some Fe2O3 and Fe(OH)3 and also in the presence of NaCl, Fe2O3, is the principal oxidation product. More rapid ionic diffusion and further chemical reaction contributed to the improvement of chalcopyrite dissolution with increasing NaCl concentration. A dissolution mechanism is proposed in this paper to explain the chalcopyrite leaching processes which is dependent on NaCl concentration.

Wastewater minimization in phenylacetaldehyde production by using indirect electrochemical oxidation of phenylethane instead of the seriously polluting traditional chemical process is described in this paper. Results show that high current efficiency of Mn(III) and high yield of phenylacetaldehyde can be obtained at the same sulfuric acid concentration (60%). The electrolytic mediator can be recycled and there will be no waste discharged.

The effect of different mass transfer ways in landfill leachate treatment by electrochemical oxidation was studied, the electrochemical oxidation rate, current efficiency and energy consumption were mainly discussed by four different mass transfer ways—including higher pressure water jet electrode, aeration, mixing and natural convection. The results show that mass transfer way has an important influence for NH4+-N and CODcr removal in electrochemical oxidation landfill leachate, high pressure water jet has high current efficiency, oxidation rate and lower energy consumption, which is 7.41 mg/L.min, 48% and 0.11 Kwh/gNH4+-N in electrolytic 6 hours, respectively. Different mass transfer ways have different mass transfer coefficient, improving mass transfer coefficient could increase transfer rate and the overall efficiency of system.

Non-enzymatic saccharide sensors are of great interest in diagnostics, but their non-selectivity limits their practical diagnostic abilities. In this study, we investigated the electrochemical oxidation of monosaccharides at nanoporous gold (NPG) catalysts with different contributions of surface crystallographic orientations. Fructose elicited no clear electrochemical response, but glucose, galactose, and mannose produced clear oxidative current. The onset potentials for oxidation of these saccharides depended on the surface atomic structure of the NPG. The oxidation potential was approximately 100 mV less positive at the Au(100)-enhanced NPG than at the Au(111)-enhanced NPG. Furthermore, the voltammetric responses significantly differed among the saccharides. Galactose was oxidized at less positive potential and exhibited a higher current response than the other saccharides. This tendency was enhanced in the presence of chloride ions. These features enabled the selective and sensitive detection of galactose at an NPG electrode without enzymes under physiological conditions. A linear range of 10 μM to 1.8 mM was obtained in the calibration plot, which was comparable to those in previously reported enzymatic galactose sensors. Thus, we demonstrated that controlling the crystallographic orientation on the nanostructured electrode surface is useful in developing electrochemical sensors.

A novel electrode consisting of a Ti/PbO2 shell and Fe3O4/Sb–SnO2 particles was developed for electrochemical oxidation treatment of wastewater. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), the current limiting method, toxicity experiments, and high-performance liquid chromatography were adopted to characterize its morphology, crystal structure, electrochemical properties, the toxicity of the wastewater, and hydroxyl radicals. Acid Red G (ARG), a typical azo dye, was additionally used to test the oxidation ability of the electrode. Results indicated that the 2.5D electrode could significantly improve the mass transfer coefficient and •OH content of the 2D electrode, thereby enhancing the decolorization, degradation, and mineralization effect of ARG, and reducing the toxicity of the wastewater. The experiments revealed that, at higher current density, lower dye concentration and higher temperature, the electrochemical oxidation of ARG favored. Under the condition of 50 mA/cm2, 25 °C, and 100 ppm, the ARG, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) removal efficiency reached 100%, 65.89%, and 52.52%, respectively, and the energy consumption and the current efficiency were 1.06 kWh/g COD, 8.29%, and energy consumption for TOC and mineralization current efficiency were 3.81 kWh/g COD, 9.01%. Besides, the Fe3O4/Sb–SnO2 particles after electrolysis for 50 h still had remarkable stability. These results indicated that the ARG solution could be adequately removed on the 2.5D electrode, providing an effective method for wastewater treatment.

The electrochemical oxidation of copper in the presence of RX (R = CH3, C6H5, C6H5CH2; X = Cl, Br, I, not all combinations) and either 2,2′-bipyridine or (C2H5)4NX gives rise to neutral or anionic copper(I) halide complexes. The current efficiency shows that CuX is produced at the anode; the subsequent solution chemistry influences the complex formation processes.

In this study, the role of electrochemical oxidation processes, including the electro-Fenton, the electro-persulfate (PS), and the electro/FeII /PS processes, in the removal of Basic Red 18 (BR18) from aqueous solutions was investigated. It was found that the electro-PS process successfully removes colour, but after 5 h, it produced only 75 % mineralization. In the same conditions, more effective mineralization was achieved by the electro/FeII/PS process than by the electro-Fenton method. At pH levels of 3.0 and 5.7, very effective mineralization results were produced by the electro/FeII/PS process. Moreover, the maximum mineralization current efficiency values were obtained by the electro/ FeII/PS process. The mineralization efficiency of the electro/FeII/PS process was determined to be 97 % under the following conditions: BR18 initial dye concentration of 100 mg L-1, pH of 5.7, contact time of 5 h, PS concentration of 10 mM, Fe2+ concentration of 0.2 mM, and a sodium sulfate concentration of 0.05 M.
