Abstract

As the world's population increases, there will also be a noticeable increase in the rate of consumption. This heightened consumption leads to the production of micropollutants, which are highly harmful to human health and the environment, for a variety of purposes. In response to this issue, this study investigated the removal of bisphenol A (BPA), a micropollutant, by an electrooxidation (EO) process using platinum-coated titanium dioxide (Pt-TiO2) as an anode and TiO2 as a cathode. Optimization studies were carried out for initial pH, applied current and duration. BPA removal rate was found to be 99, 9%% at 7.30 initial pH, 2 A applied current over a duration of 120 minutes.
