“…These results indicate that the electrochemical system is able to transform OXA into more oxidized organic compounds, which are recalcitrant to the action of the oxidants generated electrochemically or are stable when exposed to direct electrochemical oxidation at the anode surface. The above results are in agreement with Murugananthan et al [42], which suggested that the poor mineralization of Ketoprofen at both BDD and Pt anodes in the presence of NaCI as supporting electrolyte, is attributed to the formation of refractory organic compound that no longer react with chlorinated oxidative agents. However, as it was recently reported [30], in some cases, electrogenerated by-products, can be successfully eliminated during the electrochemical system using DSA anodes in presence of chloride.…”
