Electro-Chemical Degradation of Norfloxacin Using a PbO2-NF Anode Prepared by the Electrodeposition of PbO2 onto the Substrate of Nickel Foam

A novel three-dimensional network nickel foam/PbO2 combination electrode (PbO2-NF) with high electrochemical degradation efficiency to norfloxacin was successfully fabricated through the electrodeposition of PbO2 on substrate foam. The characterization an PbO2-NF electrode, including surface morphology, elemental components, performance, and stability performed. In oxidation tests, removal (initial concentration for 50 mg/L) reached 88.64% within 60 min electrolysis, whereas that pure foam only 30%. presence PbO2-NF, optimum current density, solution pH, spacing were 30 mA/cm2, 11, 3 cm, respectively. electric energy consumption 80% approximately 5 Wh/L. Therefore, these results provide a new anode improve in wastewater low consumption.
