Rotational electro-oxidation reactor with improved boundary-layer diffusion

An oxidation reactor for treating a liquid, comprising:

• a hollow body having a cylindrical cavity with an inlet and an outlet, the liquid being selectively movable between the inlet and the outlet, through the cylindrical cavity, and the cylindrical cavity defining a longitudinal axis;
• a first shaft rotatably mounted to the hollow body along the longitudinal axis so that a first internal end of the first shaft is located within the cylindrical cavity, and a first external end of the first shaft is located outside the hollow body;
• a first electrode attached to the first shaft at the first internal end, the first electrode having a first planar surface;
• a second shaft rotatably mounted to the hollow body along the longitudinal axis so that a second internal end of the second shaft is located within the cylindrical cavity, and a second external end of the second shaft is located outside the hollow body;
• a second electrode attached to the second shaft at the second internal end, the second electrode having a second surface, the second surface of the second electrode faces the first planar surface of the first electrode and defines a gap therebetween, the first and second electrodes being immersed in the liquid located within the cylindrical cavity and being capable of forming oxidants to treat the liquid located within the gap;
• and
• the first and the second shafts being independently rotatable about the longitudinal axis.
