Development and application of advanced ceramic electrodes for the electrochemical elimination of cyanides in waste water

Objective

Baths containing cyanide compounds are found among the most used in galvanic used in galvanic industries. This noteworthy industrial presence of cyanides has been very questioned due to their high toxicity. From an environmental point of view, it is important to lay great stress on the possibility of developing new clean methods that do not involve the addition of strange substances to the own solution. Among the new methods, it must be pointed up the electrocatalytic oxidation of inorganic pollutants on high oxygen overvoltage ceramic eletrodes, as is the case of the so-called dimensionally stable anodes (DSA) used in the chlor-alkaliindustry. This project has the aim of developing porous ceramic electrodes having stronger elctrocatalytic activity as a result of their high area/volume relationship. The starting point will be the DSA technology, and different procedures of processing ceramics powders, such as SnO² and perovskite like structures, will be applied.
