A boron doped diamond electrode was tested for the removal of micropollutants and inactivation of microorganisms. The results showed that higher current densities accelerated the degradation process, whereas an increase in water complexity decelerated it. A current density between 100-200 mA cm-2 would completely remove micropollutants and limit the formation of inorganic by-products. A synergic effect of reactive oxygen and chlorine species assured the disinfection capability of the electrode.
