Kinetic Study of PAHs Degradation in Produced Water Using Ti/RuO<sub>2</sub> Anode Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Oil production offshore and onshore results in production of huge amount of water, called produced water (PW). PW is one of source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs to the aquatic environment. Degradation kinetics of 16 priority PAHs were studied in PW treatment using Ti/RuO2 anode in a batch setupat three different current densities 3.33, 6.67 and 10 mA/cm2. GC-MS was used for quantification of each PAH. Kinetics study confirmed that electrochemical degradation of all PAHs had follow first-order kinetic using Ti/ RuO2. Results showed that values of rate constant k were increase by increasing current density.
