Abstract: In order to improve the biodegradability of persistent organic wastewater and remove the key pollutants more efficiently in the wastewater.A new type of DSA electrode is used to decompose nitrobenzene wastewater which the electrode is composed of Sn/Sb oxide as midlayer and Ru/Pd oxide as external-layer.The test of SEM and XRD shows that this electrode has better catalyticactivity,longer life and stronger bonding between bottom-layer,mid-layer and external-layer;the result of wastewater treatment shows that the reaction system is suitable for high concentrations of organic wastewater.Also,the system can provide a new salinity reuse method in the actual wastewater because the system needs electrolyte to enhance the mas transfer. Then,the system can reach a higher removal efficiency under the conditions of J(current density)=20 mA/cm2,C’(Na2SO4 electrolyte concentration)=10 g/L,pH=5,L(distance between anode and cathode)=2 cm.
