ABSTRACT
The taste and odor (T&O) problem represented by 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) and geosmin (GSM) in water is the multiple undesirable substances in the drinking water and the aquatic industry. In this study, the UV-assisted photoelectrochemical, a prospective advanced oxidation process (AOP), was evaluated for the degradation of 2-MIB and GSM. In contrast to UV photochemical and electrochemical, the degradation ratio of GSM (2-MIB) increase to 96% (95%) in 25 min. The removal ratio and rate depended on reaction time, electrolyte concentration, current density, and water quality parameters (e.g. pH, HCO3-, natural organic matter, and tap water). Among these parameters, a high concentration of electrolyte and acidic solutions could accelerate the rate and increase the ratio, while alkaline conditions and the impurity content had negative effects. Furthermore, the significant role of various reactive species (e.g. HOâ, Cl, ClO, etc) were highlighted by scavenging experiments. Complex free radicals exist was further verified by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) experiments. The intermediates were identified and the possible degradation pathways during the UV-assisted photoelectrochemical reactions of both compounds were proposed. Overall, the UV-assisted photoelectrochemical is beneficial to the removal of GSM and 2-MIB in water.
