Electrochemical systems equipped with 2D and 3D microwave-made anodes for the highly efficient degradation of antibiotics in urine

This work focuses on the importance of choosing a suitable electrochemical cell to remove antibiotics from urines. For this purpose, we investigate use two cells for electrolysis and photo-electrolysis urine polluted with mixture Penicillin G, Meropenem, Chloramphenicol. The reactors studied were conventional flow pass (E-cell) microfluidic flow-through reactor (MF-Reactor). Both are equipped mixed metal oxide anode (MMO-RuO2IrO2) produced by hybrid heating using microwaves. MMO coating was deposited Ti plate E-cell (2-D electrode) foam MF-Reactor (3-D electrode). Results demonstrate that stands out reduce important factors in oxidation, ohmic resistance associated concept mass transfer limitations configuration. Moreover, it allows operating at lower effective current density because its larger active anodic surface area. Photo-electrolysis results faster removal all E-cell, compared single electrolysis, thereby highlighting significance UV light-mediated oxidation processes. highlights despite large number papers focused selection electrodes treatment different types wastes, choice can be even more than those electrode materials, demonstrates same as anode, highly outcomes reached.
