Nanocomposites - Electrochemical Oxidation of Organic Compounds

Abstract

Electrochemical regeneration is very suitable approach for industrial effluents, but it suffers from low regeneration efficiency due to side reactions like oxygen evolution, as well as oxidation of the adsorbent. Utilizing PVA films through a solution casting method, incorporating varying concentrations of Cr₂O₃ nanoparticles to evaluate their effects on the material properties .The measurement of the viscosity of the PVA- nanoparticle solution shows that the viscosity increases with the addition of Cr₂O₃, indicating that the viscosity is related to the interaction between the nanoparticles and PVA chains.
