Subject Terms: electrochemical treatment, oxidation, acetamiprid, neonicotinoid, wastewater
Description: Acetamiprid, a neonicotinoid insecticide widely employed in agricultural practices, has garnered attention due to its persistence, toxicity, and potential adverse effects on non-target organisms. Traditional wastewater treatment processes often prove inadequate in efficiently removing pesticides necessitating the exploration of more adequate remediation technologies. Electrochemical methods offer a promising avenue for the degradation and removal of pesticide contaminants from aqueous environments. In this study, the response surface methodology was used to investigate the possibility of electrochemical removal of acetamiprid from water. For statistical experimental design, central composite design was used, and three factors were studied – electrode material (Fe, Cu, Al), treatment time (15, 37.5, 60 min) and applied current (4, 9, 14 A). Electrochemical treatment proved to be a viable option with efficiencies over 50%.
