The pharmaceuticals which are found in the wastewater
treatment effluents of the companies that produce cancer drug have become a
serious fear for biotic living beings as they are toxic. Although the
concentration of pharmaceuticals in surface water and wastewater are in low
levels like µg/L and ng/L levels, because of their chronical effects they are
needed to be removed from water immediately. They are not amenable to
conventional biological treatment due to their toxicity even at low
concentrations. Therefore, powerful oxidation methods have to be researched to
remove them from waters, thus avoiding their potential adverse health effects
on humans and animals. Especially electrochemical processes to purify such
micro pollutants have attracted attention as very successful methods. In this
study, electro-oxidation of Imatinib (IMT) has been studied. Ti/RuO2
electrode which has chemical and elevtrochenical stability has been used. In
order to determine their operation conditions, process optimization has been
done by using Response Surface Method (RSM).
