The aeration assisted photoelectrocatalytic ("PEC + Aeration") degradation of bisphenol A (BPA), a representative endocrine-disrupting chemical, was studied on Fe3+-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays (Fe/TNAs) under simulative solar-light irradiation. Fe/TNAs were prepared by anodization and subsequent dip coating and characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and UV-Vis reflectance spectroscopy. Results showed that higher efficiencies of BPA degradation and mineralization could be achieved from "PEC + Aeration" process than those from conventional PEC process. Effects of current density, initial pH, initial BPA concentration and airflow rate were investigated. Moreover, active species were identified to reveal the PEC degradation mechanism of BPA. H2O2, (OH)-O-center dot and O-2(center dot-) are the main reactive species responsible for BPA degradation and aeration performs in BPA elimination. Results reveal that the proposed process is an efficient method for BPA degradation and mineralization. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
