Mixed first and zero order kinetics in the electrooxidation of sulfamethoxazole at a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode

Abstract: Pharmaceutical residues in the aquatic environment represent an emerging environmental problem, because many pharmaceuticals are refractory towards conventional waste water treatment. This study focussed on the oxidation of the sulfonamide antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) at a boron-doped diamond anode, at which reactive hydroxyl radicals are formed. Electrochemical oxidation led to mineralization with high current efficiency, but without the formation of known toxic products of partial oxidation. A ''mixed''… Show more

“…The complication of the observed kinetics for loss of S 2-is explained by the competition between 2-electron oxidation of sulfide and 6-electron oxidation of elemental sulfur. Otherwise, we would have expected a monotonic trend from current control at low conversion towards diffusion control as the concentration of S 2-falls [21].…”

“…We examined kinetic models based on both current control (rate independent of the concentration of sulfide) and diffusion control (rate first order in sulfide). A partial order model [21]-rate proportional to [SH -] n (0 \ n \ 1)-gave the best fit to the data: Eq. 1 and its integrated form Eq.…”

“…To find the equations that best fit the experimental data, the model of partial order was used, 31 where the reaction rate is made proportional to [S , i is the current intensity in A, t is the time in h, and n and m are partial reaction orders. Since in each test both the current intensity and the n value remained constants throughout the electrolysis, equations 20 and 21 can take The analysis of [S 2-] 1-n versus time, at constant current density, were carried out by varying n in steps of 0.01, until the best correlation factor was obtained for each applied current density.…”

“…Anodic oxidation needs an active anode, such as a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode. The anodic oxidation of SMX at the BDD anode has been investigated by several authors [28,29]. The most common of the indirect electrooxidation methods is electro-Fenton (EF), which is based on the continuous supply of H 2 O 2 generated from two electron reduction of oxygen on the catalytic cathode, such as carbon felt [30,31], O 2 -PTFE cathode [32][33][34][35][36][37] and activated carbon fiber (ACF) [38,39] to a contaminated acid solution containing Fe 2+ or Fe 3+ as catalyst.…”
