Implication

Demonstrates enhanced degradation of amoxicillin and paracetamol in wastewater via electro-oxidation and UVC treatment, highlighting effective removal methods.

Key Points

The research aims to evaluate degradation pathways of amoxicillin and paracetamol in hemodialysis wastewater using different treatment methods.
Synthetic hemodialysis wastewater treated with electro-oxidation and UVC processes.
Utilization of IrO2-Ta2O5|Ti electrode anode and Ti cathode with specific current application.
Comparison of degradation efficiency across EO, UVC, and combined EO-UVC treatments.
Electrochemical treatment yielded 78% AMX and 100% PAR degradation efficiency.
The coupled EO-UVC system facilitated a 55.40% removal of AMX and 28.10% removal of PAR.
Identification of numerous reaction products specific to each treatment method.
