Abstract

The effectiveness of electrochemical methods in purification of synthetic wastewaters containing bisphenol-A has been tested. The role of electrode material and electrolysis parameters have been considered. The kinetics of bisphenol oxidation have been followed using different analytical techniques and a degradation mechanism has been proposed.
