Direct electrochemical behaviors of hemoglobin (Hb) immobilized on carbon nanotube (CNT) modified carbon paste electrode with adsorption were investigated. Cyclic voltammetry of Hb-CNT-modified electrode showed a pair of well-defined and nearly reversible peaks for HbhemeFe(III) /Fe(II) redox couple in pH = 7 PBS buffers. The electrocatalytic behaviors of Hb-CNT-modified electrode for the reductive dechlorination of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) were studied by cyclic voltammmetry and fixed-potential electrolysis technique, and the reductive mechanism of TCA was discussed by analysis of reduction products. The results showed that Hb-CNT-modified electrode possessed good electro-catalytic activity for reduction of TCA and the dechlorination of TCA was stepwise, following the pathway of trichloroacetic--> dichloroacetic--> monochloroacetic--> acetic. The dechlorination of TCA in waster water was investigated using a two-compartment flow reactor with working electrode compartment packed with Hb-CNT-modified graphite electrode. The conversion of TCA was 40.13% with electrolysis for 180 min at - 0.60V (vs. SCE).
