2,4,6-Trinitrophenol is a toxic aromatic nitro-compounds that widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical and pesticide production. Due to its stable structure and poor biodegradability, advanced electrocatalytic oxidation technology was selected to treat simulated wastewater. The goal of the present work is to optimize the electrolysis conditions such as current density, electrolysis pH, and electrolyte concentration. A Pt modified TiO2 electrode was chosen as the anode accompanied with a titanium electrode of the same size as the cathode The results showed that the removal efficiency of 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol was the highest when the current density was 20mA/cm2, electrolyte pH=5, electrolyte concentration was 2 g/L. Under the optimal condition, the removal rate of 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol reached 99.76% after 120 minutes electrolysis. The decay of TNP could also be described by the pseudo-first-order kinetics formula with respect to TNP concentration. Therefore, electrocatalytic oxidation technology might provide an effective method for the degradation of nitroaromatic organic compounds.
