Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation of Lamotrigine at Ti/DSA (Ta2O5-Ir2O5) and Stainless Steel Anodes

The study presents kinetics of degradation and mineralization an anti-epileptic drug Lamotrigine (LAM) in the aqueous matrix by electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP) on Ti/DSA (Ta2O5-Ir2O5) Stainless Steel (SS) anodes using sodium sulphate as supporting electrolyte. On both anodes, kinetic behaviour was pseudo-first-order for well LAM. anode, maximum LAM 75.42% observed at associated specific charge 3.1 (Ah/litre) a current density 1.38 mA/cm2 100 ppm Na2SO4 concentration. Maximum attained 44.83% 50 concentration with energy consumption 2942.71 kWh/kgTOC. Under identical conditions SS 98.92% marked after (Q) Na2SO4. anode 98.53%, 75 Na2SO4, 1312.17 Higher Mineralization Current Efficiency (MCE) values were EAOP due to occurrence combined electro-oxidation electro-coagulation comparison lone process.
