Oxidation of pesticide (Coragen) using triple oxide coated titanium electrodes and nano hydroxyapatite as a sorbent

The study mainly demonstrates the oxidation of pesticide (coragen) using triple oxide-coated titanium electrodes where n hap is used as a sorbent. The main advantage of this electrode is that it consumes minimum energy, takes less processing time, and produces a high amount of pesticide mineralization. In wastewater treatment, the electrooxidation process in organic effluents using boron doped diamond electrode and Pt consumption of energy was very high but at the same time, the consumption of triple oxide-coated titanium electrode energy was very low whereas the mineralization of effluent was very high. Nano hydroxyapatite is a low-cost nontoxic adsorbent which adsorbs the bromide ions present in the coragen during electrolysis. The efficiency of the electrolysis process was analyzed through analytical parameters such as COD, Cl2, and Br. According to the study results, the mineralization of chemical oxygen demand, chloride, and bromide were 79%, 77%, and 67% respectively. The complete mineralization was verified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis results.
