ABSTRACT
The data collected in the present work correspond to percentages of phenol degradation by means of photoelectrochemical oxidation (PEC). Also, the information related to the energetic and kinetic performance of this advanced oxidation process (AOPs) is shown. The tests were divided into two stages: 1. Supporting electrolytes tests to determine the electrolyte that presents a better response to photocurrent and 2. Degradation of phenol to obtain the adequate conditions for the elimination of the contaminant. A central rotary composite design with uniform precision at two levels was used to analyze the influence of the initial pH, electrode potential and the initial concentration of substrate. Finally, with all the data obtained, calculation of degradation rates and the electrical energy per order EEO were made.
