Abstract

The preparation of composite metal oxide to attain high efficiency in removing phenol from wastewater has a great concern. In the present study, the focus would be on adopting antimony-tin oxide coating onto graphite substrates instead of titanium; besides the effect of SbCl₃ concentration on the SnO2-Sb₂O₃ composite would be examined. The performance of this composite electrode as the working electrode in the removal of phenol by sonoelectrochemical oxidation will be studied. The antimony-tin dioxide composite electrode was prepared by cathodic deposition with SnCl₂ . 2H₂O solution in a mixture of HNO₃ and NaNO₃, with different concentrations of SbCl₃. The SnO₂-Sb₂O₃ deposit layer’s structure and morphology were examined and the 4 g/l SbCl₃ gave the more crystallized with nanoscale electrodeposition. The highest removal of phenol was 100% at a temperature of 30 ^oC, with a current density (CD) of 25 mA/cm².
