Abstract
In this work, an amperometric analysis strategy using a carbon fiber (CF) rod as an anode was developed to follow the degradation process of the norfloxacin (NOR) molecule via electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOP). The voltammetric study showed that drug oxidation is an irreversible process which involves, in the determining stage of the reaction, a proton and an electron in an EC (electron transfer followed by chemical reaction) mechanism. After optimizing the electroanalytical conditions, CF sensor showed a linear amperometric response at concentrations ranging from 1.6 μmol L−1 to 30.0 μmol L−1, with detection and quantification limits of 0.5 μmol L−1 and 1.8 μmol L−1, respectively, which are sufficient to enable in monitoring the drug during its electrolytic degradation. The results clearly showed that the by-products generated during drug degradation do not interfere with the current signal. Other application scenarios were evaluated, such as the determination of NOR in river waters and in the presence of different drug degradation by-products, obtained after EAOPs in chloride-containing medium, and no interference was observed during the electroanalysis. Therefore, the proposed analytical methodology is promising for monitoring and controlling the treatment of water contaminated with NOR antibiotic.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
