dc.description.abstractThe three-dimensional (3D) electrochemical treatment process was studied for the removal of two pharmaceuticals, diclofenac (anti-inflammatory) and sulfamethoxazole (antibiotic), in mono and bi-component systems. Adsorption and conventional two-dimensional electrochemical processes were initially studied and then combined to develop the 3D process. The influence of different operating parameters on the removal efficiency was studied: the distance between the cathode and the anode, the pharmaceutical and electrolyte (NaCl) concentrations, the pH, and the (carbon-based) adsorbent used as particulate electrode (biochar and commercial activated carbon, granulometry, and amount). The energy consumption and the electric energy per order were evaluated. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the 3D process for the removal of diclofenac and sulfamethoxazole from aqueous solutions, both for mono- and bi-component systems, achieving their complete removal respectively in 10 and 30 min, using a Mixed Metal Oxide anode (titanium-coated with RuO2-IrO2-TiO2), a stainless steel cathode, a biochar particulate electrode (1–2 mm), an initial pharmaceutical concentration of 10 mg/L, an inter-electrode distance of 7.5 cm, a pH value of 7 and a current density of 7 mA/cm2. The optimised 3D process was also successfully applied to a wastewater treatment plant effluent, but lower removal efficiencies were observed (after 30 min) for bi-component fortified samples; 49% for DCF and 86% for SMX, with energy consumptions of 1224 and 613 Wh/g and an electric energy per order of 19.1 and 8.77 kWh/m3 respectively. On the other hand, the pharmaceuticals were completely removed from the effluent when real concentrations (i.e. without their addition) were usedpt_PT
