Abstract

This study has carried out a performance of dimensionally stable anode for the purpose of disinfection of Legionella pneumophila in water. Three kinds of electrode were prepared by plating and thermal deposition, which were coated by the oxides of Pt, Ru and Ir on Ti metal surface, respectively. The order of disinfection performance for Legionella pneumophila was Ru/Ti > Ir/Ti > Pt/Ti. Free Cl and $ClO_2$ generation of Ir/Ti electrode was higher than that of two electrodes. However, the concentrations of generated $H_2O_2$ and $O_3$ of the Ru/Ti electrode were highest among the three electrodes. The higher NaCl concentration was, the more oxidants was generated and disinfection effect was increased. However, optimum NaCl dosage was 0.0125% due to the regulation on the conductivity and $Cl^-$ concentration for the cooling water quality of air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. With the increase of current, oxidants was more generated and following disinfection effect was increased. The increase of electrode distance reduced oxidants generation due to the low electric power, and their disinfection effect was decreased accordingly.
