Due to various potential toxicological threats to living organisms even at low concentrations, pharmaceuticals and personal care products in natural water are seen as an emerging environmental issue. The low efficiency of removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products by conventional wastewater treatment plants calls for more efficient technology. Research on advanced oxidation processes has recently become a hot topic as it has been shown that these technologies can effectively oxidize most organic contaminants to inorganic carbon through mineralization. Among the advanced oxidation processes, the electrochemical advanced oxidation processes and, in general, electrochemical oxidation or anodic oxidation have shown good prospects at the lab-scale for the elimination of contamination caused by the presence of residual pharmaceuticals and personal care products in aqueous systems. This paper reviewed the effectiveness of electrochemical oxidation in removing pharmaceuticals and personal care products from liquid solutions, alone or in combination with other treatment processes, in the last 10 years. Reactor designs and configurations, electrode materials, operational factors (initial concentration, supporting electrolytes, current density, temperature, pH, stirring rate, electrode spacing, and fluid velocity) were also investigated.

通过电化学氧化和组合系统去除药物和个人护理产品的最新趋势

由于即使在低浓度下对生物体的各种潜在毒理学威胁，天然水中的药物和个人护理产品被视为新兴的环境问题。传统废水处理厂去除药品和个人护理产品的效率低，需要更高效的技术。对高级氧化过程的研究最近已成为一个热门话题，因为已经表明这些技术可以通过矿化有效地将大多数有机污染物氧化为无机碳。在高级氧化工艺中，电化学高级氧化工艺，一般来说，电化学氧化或阳极氧化在实验室规模上显示出良好的前景，可消除水性体系中残留药物和个人护理产品的存在造成的污染。本文回顾了电化学氧化在过去 10 年中单独或与其他处理过程结合从液体溶液中去除药物和个人护理产品的有效性。还研究了反应器设计和配置、电极材料、操作因素（初始浓度、支持电解质、电流密度、温度、pH、搅拌速率、电极间距和流体速度）。本文回顾了电化学氧化在过去 10 年中单独或与其他处理过程结合从液体溶液中去除药物和个人护理产品的有效性。还研究了反应器设计和配置、电极材料、操作因素（初始浓度、支持电解质、电流密度、温度、pH、搅拌速率、电极间距和流体速度）。本文回顾了电化学氧化在过去 10 年中单独或与其他处理过程结合从液体溶液中去除药物和个人护理产品的有效性。还研究了反应器设计和配置、电极材料、操作因素（初始浓度、支持电解质、电流密度、温度、pH、搅拌速率、电极间距和流体速度）。
