Abstract
Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate disinfection as well as removal of color and residual organics from reclaimed municipal wastewater by electrochemical processes with Nb/Pt anode installed. RNO was rapidly bleached by OH$\cdot$ and the second order rate constants of RNO removal were $\frac{0.223l}{mg{\cdot}min}$, $\frac{1.679l}{mg{\cdot}min}$ and $\frac{2.322l}{mg{\cdot}min}$ with for 5 A, 10 A, and 15 A, respectively, with r$^2$ of > 96%. In batch electrochemical processes, after 15 min at currency of 15 A and initial pH of 5, 7,5 and 9, COD$_{Mn}$ was below 4 mg/L, color unit below 5 degree and general bacteria was not detected, the concentration of which are suitable for drinking water regulation. In the continuous electrochemical process, with HRT of 3.7$\sim$49.2 min, free chlorine were 0.2$\sim$0.7 mg/L, general bacteria was not detected, color unit below 5 degree and THMs was 0.017 mg/L. Therefore, electrochemical process with Nb/Pt anode was employed satisfactory to meet for reusing biologically treated water as well as disinfection.
