Comparison of electro-oxidation coupled with UV irradiation (UV/EO) versus conventional oxidation processes (UV irradiation, chlorination, electro-oxidation, and UV/chlorine) for atenolol removal: role of operating parameters, energy performance, and toxicity

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: . Intermediate products formed during ATL oxidation exhibited higher toxicity than the parent compound. This finding highlights the potential risks associated with the formation of highly toxic byproducts. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the design and operating parameters of the UV/EO system to prevent the formation and accumulation of harmful intermediates.
