Removal of pesticide chlorobenzene by anodic degradation: Variable effects and mechanism

The oxidation of chlorobenzene (CB) was studied by electrochemical electrolysis using boron-doped diamond (BDD), PbO2 or platine (Pt) as anode and graphite bar as cathode. The effect of applied current density, supporting electrolyte and initial pH value were also studied. The results demonstrated t...
