In this study, pH and ΔpH change in the electrochemical oxidation of imidacloprid (IMD) pesticide using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes was investigated in the presence of Na₂SO₄ electrolyte. The process parameters were operated as imidacloprid concentration (40-200 mg/L), electrolyte concentration (2-10 g/L), current density (4-20 mA/cm²) and reaction temperature (20-60°C). pH and ΔpH values increased with increasing Na₂SO₄ concentration, current density, and reaction temperature, and decreasing the imidacloprid concentration at 120 min reaction time. The results of this study showed that the pH of the wastewater solution maintained the local pH discharge limits between 6 and 9 after the electrochemical oxidation.
