Journal of Environmental Engineering

The Journal of Environmental Engineering presents broad interdisciplinary information on the practice and status of research in environmental engineering science, systems engineering, and sanitation. Papers focus on design, development of engineering methods, management, governmental policies, and societal impacts of wastewater collection and treatment; the fate and transport of contaminants on watersheds, in surface waters, in groundwater, in soil, and in the atmosphere; environmental biology, microbiology, chemistry, fluid mechanics, and physical processes that control natural concentrations and dispersion of wastes in air, water, and soil; nonpoint-source pollution on watersheds, in streams, in groundwater, in lakes, and in estuaries and coastal areas; treatment, management, and control of hazardous wastes; control and monitoring of air pollution and acid deposition; airshed management; and design and management of solid waste facilities. A balanced contribution from consultants, practicing engineers, and researchers is sought on engineering solutions, and professional obligations and responsibilities.

Research Highlights

Indirect Electrochemical Oxidation of Chlorophenols in Dilute Aqueous Solutions

J. Environ. Eng.

Issue Date: November 2011

Indirect electrochemical oxidation of chlorophenols was studied. The process involved simultaneous reduction of water to produce proton which was used in subsequent electrochemical reduction of oxygen to generate hydrogen peroxide. In the presence of ferrous ions, a Fenton's reagent was produced. In the process, upon reaction with hydrogen peroxide, ferrous ion was converted to ferric state which was then regenerated at the cathode to recover ferrous ion, an important reactant in the Fenton's reagent. A series of chlorophenols, including 4 mono‐, 6 dichloro‐, and 4 trichloro‐phenols were studied. Read more...
