Electrocatalytic Oxidation Anode
In the electrocatalytic oxidation treatment of industrial wastewater, the catalytic activity and durability of the anode determine the degradation efficiency of organic pollutants and the long-term operating cost of the system. Our Electrocatalytic Oxidation Anode at Baoji City ShenAo Metal Materials Co., Ltd. is designed specifically for the electrochemical advanced oxidation treatment of various refractory organic wastewaters. It uses Grade 1 or Grade 2 pure titanium as the substrate, with a noble metal oxide catalytic coating on the surface. In wastewater systems containing organics, salts, or complex compositions, the coating maintains stable electrocatalytic activity, achieving deep oxidative degradation of organic pollutants through strong oxidizing species such as hydroxyl radicals generated at the anode surface. The anode maintains a stable chemical state during operation, minimizing the risk of metal ion dissolution, making it a reliable electrode solution for industrial wastewater electrochemical advanced oxidation processes.
This product is for B2B Industrial Use Only. Operators should follow relevant chemical safety protocols and wastewater treatment operation standards.

Why Choose Our Titanium Anodes?
- High Oxygen Evolution Overpotential Promoting Hydroxyl Radical Generation
The core of electrocatalytic oxidation technology lies in the generation of strongly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (·OH) at the anode surface. Our iridium-tantalum coating possesses a high oxygen evolution overpotential, providing a wider potential window for hydroxyl radical generation before reaching the oxygen evolution potential. This means that when treating low-concentration organic pollutants, more current is directed toward the oxidation reaction rather than the oxygen evolution side reaction, contributing to improved current efficiency and reduced energy consumption. For applications requiring higher treatment depth, boron-doped diamond coatings can be selected for stronger oxidation capability. - Coating Solutions for Different Pollutant Types
Different industrial wastewaters vary significantly in organic pollutant structure and degradation difficulty. Wastewater containing aromatic pollutants such as phenols and dyes is preferably treated with iridium-tantalum coatings, balancing oxidation efficiency with service life. Wastewater containing highly stable organics such as antibiotics and endocrine disruptors can be treated with boron-doped diamond coatings for higher mineralization efficiency. We can recommend a matched coating solution based on your wastewater quality and effluent standards. - Chemical Stability in Complex Wastewater Environments
Industrial wastewater often contains acids, alkalis, salts, and various inorganic ions, exerting continuous chemical attack and physical erosion on electrode materials. Our coating formulation is optimized to maintain a low corrosion rate and good structural integrity in wastewater with wide pH fluctuations, high salinity, and complex compositions, making it suitable for long-term continuous operation of electrocatalytic oxidation treatment systems. - Flexible Modular Expansion
We can provide single or multiple anode modules in series-parallel combinations based on your treatment capacity and pollutant loading. Mesh and perforated plate anodes feature a high open area ratio, suitable for treating wastewater containing suspended solids; tubular anodes are suitable for flow-through reactors; plate anodes are suitable for immersion-type electrolytic cells. Whether for low-flow precision treatment or high-flow rapid treatment, processing capacity can be flexibly adjusted by adding or removing modules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I select the appropriate anode coating based on wastewater type?
A: It primarily depends on the type, concentration, and degradation target of organic pollutants in the wastewater. For wastewater containing aromatic pollutants such as phenols and dyes with moderate COD concentration, iridium-tantalum coatings offer a favorable balance between oxidation efficiency and service life. For applications involving recalcitrant organics such as antibiotics and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or requiring deep mineralization, boron-doped diamond coatings can be selected. For wastewater with higher chloride ion content, ruthenium-iridium coatings can be used, utilizing the active chlorine generated from chlorine evolution for indirect oxidation. You can provide your wastewater quality report, and our engineers will recommend a matched solution.
Q: What factors are related to the consumption rate of electrocatalytic oxidation anodes?
A: The consumption rate is primarily related to wastewater pH, operating current density, temperature, and fluoride ion concentration in the wastewater. Strongly acidic and fluoride-containing wastewater will accelerate coating consumption. We recommend providing a detailed wastewater composition analysis during the selection stage so we can assess coating compatibility and provide a service life estimate. Periodically monitoring cell voltage trends during operation helps anticipate coating condition.
Q: How should scaling or fouling on the anode surface be addressed?
A: Wastewater with high hardness or containing iron and manganese ions may form inorganic scale or metal oxide deposits on the anode surface. Mild scaling can be removed by dilute acid online circulation cleaning, while organic fouling can be addressed with dilute alkaline cleaning. We recommend incorporating an online cleaning connection during the system design phase and periodically inspecting the anode surface condition.
Q: How should anodes be handled when the coating reaches the end of its service life?
A: The titanium substrate remains stable in the electrocatalytic oxidation environment. The old coating can be chemically stripped, and once the substrate passes inspection, it can be recoated to restore performance to new-anode levels. We offer a full-service process including incoming inspection of used anodes, coating stripping, substrate treatment, and recoating.
