2, 4 dichlorophenol (2, 4-DCP) is considered to be a highly toxic, mutagenic, and possibly carcinogenic pollutant. This study is focused on the electrochemical oxidation of 2, 4-DCP on nanostructured 3D-porous Ti/Sb-SnO2-Gr anodes, with the aim of presenting a comprehensive elucidation of mineralization process through the investigation of influential kinetics, the reactivity of hydroxyl radical's and analysis of intermediates. High efficiency was achieved at pH of 3 using Na2SO4 electrolytes at a current density of 30 mA cm(-2). Under the optimized conditions, a maximum removal of 2, 4-DCP of up to 99.9% was reached, whereas a TOC removal of 81% was recorded with the lowest ECTOC (0.49 kW h g(-1)) within 40 min of electrolysis. To explore the stability of the 3D-Ti/Sb-SnO2-Gr electrodes, a continuous electrochemical operation was established, and the consistent mineralization results indicated the effectiveness of the 3D-Ti/Sb-SnO2-Gr system concerning its durability and practical utilization. EPR studies demonstrated the abundant generation of (OH)-O-center dot radicals on 3D-Ti/Sb-SnO2-Gr, resulting in fast recalcitrant pollutant incineration. From dechlorination and the reactivity of the (OH)-O-center dot radicals, several intermediates including six cyclic byproducts and three aliphatic carboxylic acids were detected, and two possible degradation pathways were proposed that justify the complete mineralization of 2, 4-DCP.
