Abstract:Nitrate has a polyvalent behavior in electrochemical reduction removal process, it is a typical nonlinear system far from equilibrium. To investigate the electrochemical behavior of nitrate during the removal process, the influence of H2SO4 concentration, current, reaction temperature and NO3- concentration on cathode potential oscillation was systematically studied. The cyclic voltammetry characteristics of the reaction system and the changes of the phase composition, microstructure and surface electron valence state of the cathode Cu surface before and after the reaction were analyzed by cyclic voltammetry, XRD, SEM-EDS and XPS. The results show that the H2SO4-NaNO3 system had obvious potential oscillation under constant current conditions (Pt as anode and Cu as cathode). When concentration of H2SO4 and NaNO3 were separately 0.10, 0.20mol/L, the current 12mA, the temperature 20℃, the oscillation average amplitude was 1.15V and the oscillation average period was 3s. In addition, the periodic potential oscillation of nitrate in the process of electrochemical reduction removal was mainly caused by the continuous dissolution and formation of the dense CuO film on the Cu surface of the cathode, and periodic generation and disappearance of H2 on cathode surface.
