Caiping Lu et al.

Summary: In this study, CuO-doped red mud (CuO/URM) was used as a particle electrode in a three-dimensional electroFenton (3D/EF) system for the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP). The optimal operating conditions were determined, and the effect of inorganic anions on CIP degradation was investigated. The degradation intermediates and pathway of CIP in the 3D/EF system were proposed. Compared to the two-dimensional electrochemical system, the 3D/EF system showed superior removal capability and energy utilization efficiency. The stability of the CuO/URM electrodes was also confirmed. Therefore, the 3D/EF system catalyzed by CuO/URM particle electrodes is a reliable technology for the disposal of CIP wastewater.
