Construction and Testing of a Novel in-situ Photoelectro-Fenton System Based on an Arrangement of a Carbon Sponge and a Carbon Steel Plate

A novel photoelectro-Fenton system was built by coupling a carbon sponge (CS) with a carbon steel plate (CSP). When this system contacts a solution containing orange II dye (OGII) under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, 68% of the solution color was removed compared with 0% without UV irradiation. The tests indicate that the CS-CSP arrangement releases iron ions, a phenomenon associated with the removal of 23% of the solution color, a percentage similar to that obtained when Fe2+ and Fe3+ salts are directly placed into the dye solution. The identification of oxidizing free radicals and the color removal percentages indicate that the CS-CSP coupling can operate as in situ Fenton process.
