Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāThe objective of this study is to understand the influence of the characteristics of boron-doped diamond anodes on the degradation of Penicillin G contained in urine. Therefore, five commercial BDD anodes with different boron doping levels (100 ppm - 8000 ppm) were studied. These electrodes were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and electrolysis. The boron doping was found to correlate well with the electrochemical properties of the electrodes, and results indicate a different behavior in drug degradation. The improvement in the toxicity and the reduction of the antibiotic effect of urine were the most innovative inputs monitored. For this, the concentration of Penicillin G, the toxicity toward Vibrio fisheri, and the antibiotic effect in Enterococcus faecalis were monitored. The best results were found for the BDD with a boron content of 200 ppm, capable of removing 100% of the antibiotic, reducing toxicity by 90%, and eradicating the antibiotic effect. These results indicate that low doping levels are more efficient for urine removal by anodic oxidation.
