Methodology for decentralized analysis: Detection, quantification and in situ monitoring of pharmaceutical formulations removal by electro-Fenton

Water quality is essential to both human and ecosystem health, a fast detection of emerging pollutants claimed, along with effective wastewater treatment plants eliminate these types substances. The goal this study was the development sensitive selective methodology customize handle device that meets demand. Clozapine its pharmacological formulation, Leponex®, were used as model. results obtained from studies by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) demonstrated allows simpler cheaper decentralized analysis without losing sensitivity, performing electrochemical measurements in situ, real-time directly sample treatment, good precision (RSD 3.7 %) excellent accuracy (recoveries between 97.6 99.9 %). Moreover, successfully for direct follow-up medicine removal real samples electro-Fenton (EF) treatment. gathered showed relative error less than 2 % concerning made conventional potentiostat. Bearing mind, effectiveness techniques tandem comfort high specificity offered portable device, more exhaustive control water can be achieved, thus improving life planet.
