Electrocoagulation-Catalytic Ozonation for Effective IBP Degradation in Pharmaceutical Wastewater

Additionally, electrocoagulation can significantly increase the production rate of hydroxyl radicals under the same consumption of ozone, and more hydroxyl radicals can be utilized in the degradation process of IBP. The addition of electrocoagulation improves the degradation efficiency of IBP by approximately 26% compared to sole ozone oxidation. The coupling of electrocoagulation and catalytic ozonation is a viable technology for the degradation of IBP in pharmaceutical wastewater.
