BDD Diamond Electrochemical Oxidation Reactor – Advanced Wastewater Treatment
What is the BDD Diamond Electrochemical Oxidation Reactor?
The BDD Diamond electrochemical oxidation reactor uses boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes, considered the most advanced electrodes in electrochemical technology. With a wide electrochemical window and excellent stability, BDD electrodes enable both direct and indirect oxidation of organic pollutants with high efficiency, while minimizing secondary pollution.
This technology can work independently or be integrated with other wastewater treatment methods, offering a sustainable and comprehensive solution.
Key Advantages
-
Clean reagent – electrons act as the oxidizing agent, producing no harmful by-products.
-
Operates under ambient conditions (temperature and pressure), making management and operation simple.
-
Compact equipment design, easy to install and integrate.
-
Stable water quality – can be controlled by adjusting voltage and current.
-
Low chemical consumption – decomposition occurs under low-voltage DC, reducing the need for large amounts of reagents.
-
Superior efficiency – BDD electrodes achieve significantly better degradation performance and lower energy consumption compared to conventional electrodes.
Applications
BDD electrodes in electrochemical oxidation reactors are highly effective in degrading a wide range of persistent organic pollutants, including:
-
Phenolic compounds and derivatives (e.g., phenol) – from the petrochemical industry.
-
Pharmaceutical intermediates (e.g., 17β-estradiol) – from the pharmaceutical chemical sector.
-
Dyes and colorants (e.g., methyl orange) – from dyeing and printing factories.
-
Herbicides and pesticides (e.g., chlorsulfuron) – from agrochemical manufacturing.
-
Surfactants – such as those found in car wash wastewater.
Conclusion
With high efficiency, simple operation, low chemical demand, and environmental safety, the BDD Diamond electrochemical oxidation reactor is a cutting-edge solution for modern industrial wastewater treatment.
