Electrochemical degradation of aqueous bisphenol A using Ti/SnO₂-Sb/Ce-PbO₂ anode

The electrochemical degradation kinetics and energy consumption of aqueous bisphenol A (BPA) were investigated using Ti/SnO₂-Sb/Ce-PbO₂ anode. The electrochemical degradation of BPA followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics. Different influence factors, i.e. current density, BPA initial concentration and Na₂SO₄ concentration, on the degradation kinetics and energy consumption were evaluated. The optimal degradation kinetic rate and energy consumption were 0.067 min⁻¹ and 9.96 Wh/L, respectively. Electrochemical oxidation process was effective in the degradation of aqueous BPA.
