Synthesis, characterization, and performance of the Fe-HAp Bio heterogeneous catalyst for electro-Fenton degradation of cefuroxime sodium
Abstract
) radicals were also present in the degradation process. To describe the formation pathways of these reactive species a reaction mechanism was proposed. Also, the catalyst demonstrated good stability after several reuse cycles. Moreover, heterogeneous EF treatment enhanced the biodegradability of the solution after 90 minutes, and therefore, allowed its subsequent low-cost biological treatment. After 17 days, aerobic biological post-treatment achieved almost complete mineralization, which indicated the overall efficiency, sustainability, and less energy consumption of the process.
