The goal of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) electrodes for reductive dechlorination of trichloroethylene. The approach included: studying the reaction mechanism;
analyzing the reaction products;
studying factors affecting rate of reduction such as
concentration,
temperature,
over potential, and
reaction products. Conclusions were that: TCE reduction of BDD occurred via chemisorbed intermediate;
no intermediate chlorinated products were observed;
TCE reduction on BDD were combined first and zeroth order with respect to TCE concentration; and,
TCE reduction rates on BDD surface were higher than that of iron surface. Includes figures.
