Electrocatalytic destruction of the antibiotic tetracycline in aqueous medium by electrochemical advanced oxidation processes: Effect of electrode materials

Enhanced hydroxyl radical generation in the combined ozonation and electrolysis process using carbon nanotubes containing gas diffusion cathode

“…However, some pollutants are resistant to the ozonation alone, and addition of high dose of ozone can produce toxic by-products (Chang et al 2014). Electrochemical oxidation is an economic technology and easy in operation (Oturan et al 2013;Vijayalakshmi et al 2011). Nevertheless, long time required limits its practical applications for water treatment (GarciaMorales et al 2013).…”

Electrochemical degradation of nitrofurans furazolidone by cathode: Characterization, pathway and antibacterial activity analysis

“…The existence of FZD in the wastewaters or surface water environments must be degraded to eliminate its antibacterial activity. The electrochemistry based method for the removal of various antibiotic chloramphenicol, sulfonamides, trimethoprim, tetracycline, ceftriaxone, penicillin, and metronidazole by abiotic anode, bioanode, abiotic cathode or biocathode in electrochemical system has been studied extensively [19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. However, regarding the electrochemical degradation of nitrofurans FZD by cathode has not been well understood yet.…”

Electrochemical Oxidation of Amoxicillin in Its Commercial Formulation on Thermally Prepared RuO2/Ti

“…The presence of pharmaceuticals in wastewater not only affects the water quality, but also causes long term potential adverse impacts on the ecosystems and the human health [3][4][5]. Among various pharmaceuticals, antibiotics are widely used in human and veterinary medicines to treat diseases and to promote growth [3,6]. The antibiotics can pose a potential environmental risk due to its extensive usage and resistance to natural biodegradation [7].…”

“…Among the large variety of pollutants that exist in the wastewaters, the hospital wastewater notably the pharmaceuticals are those which caused serious problems. The presence of pharmaceuticals in wastewater not only affects the water quality, but also causes long term potential adverse impacts on the ecosystems and the human health [3][4][5]. Among various pharmaceuticals, antibiotics are widely used in human and veterinary medicines to treat diseases and to promote growth [3,6].…”
