Electrochemıcal Oxıdatıon of Wastewaters Contaınıng Antıbıotıcs

Abstract
Synthetic chemicals polluting water resources are increasing day by day in terms of variety and component. Such as hospital and drug factory discharges with high endocrine disrupting pharmaceuticals are very dangerous and need further consideration. Antibiotic compounds are the most dangeroustypes of endocrine disruptor pharmaceuticals, for the microorganism resistance and they have widespread use in our country and around the world.However, conventional treatment methods are inefficient for their removal from wastewaters. Various advanced treatment methods such as carbon adsorption, advanced oxidation processes (AOP), membrane processes are proposed for the removal of antibiotics instead of conventional methods.Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) show both the conversion performance of pollutants to harmless products by oxidation and the lower energy consumption requirement due to the use of direct current compared to other AOPs.Another advantage of the EAOPs is the less need for additional chemicals and pH arrangement.Because of these reasons, in this study, for the removal of antibiotics,the role of electrochemical advanced oxidation processes and combinations of them with other AOPswere considered. In most of the studies, it was seen that, full mineralizations were achieved at shorter reaction times and this increased the biodegradabilities.Also, in researchs it was seen that the application of Sn/Sb/Ni-Ti anodes are very limited. These anodes were highly tested in electrochemical ozone production and are known to be more successful than older generation PbO2 and Pt anodes.
