ABSTRACT
Sea sand, a vital sand and gravel resource, is rich in chloride, which causes corrosion of steel reinforcements. This study investigates the effect of the electrochemical chlorine evolution reaction (CER) on the desalination of sea sand. The results indicate that the chlorine removal efficiency (RE) of sea sand increased from 48.76 to 56.40 % under optimal conditions a current density of 15 mA/cm2, an electrolysis time of 1 min, and a sodium sulphate-supported electrolyte concentration of 0.05 mol/L. After 30 days of resting, the dissolved chlorine content in sea sand was 0.154 %, which was 21.03 % lower than that of the control group. The electrically active chlorine-mediated desalination process demonstrated excellent dechlorination ability, facilitated the transformation of metal and organic chlorine into liquid and gaseous forms, and reduced the slow release of chloride from sea sand. Therefore, CER is expected to be an efficient method for sea sand desalination.
