Mediated electrocatalytic oxidation (MEO) of aromatic halides, especially chlorobenzene, induces polymerization instead of its removal. In the present work, mediated electrocatalytic reduction (MER) followed by MEO process was developed for the removal of chlorobenzene. First, two electron mediators Co(III) and Ni(I) at each anodic and cathodic half-cells, respectively, were generated using divided electrolytic cell. Then, the chlorobenzene gas was treated at cathodic electroscrubber for its dechlorination and sequentially treated at anodic electroscrubber for benzene degradation. The removal efficiency of chlorobenzene was monitored by online FTIR gas analyser. |
