ABSTRACT: Electrochemical oxidation has received increasing attention for organic wastewater treatment due to its
many advantages, such as simple equipment, ease of operation, no additional chemicals, low energy consumption, and
no secondary pollution. Boron-doped diamond (BDD) thin films are a new electrode material that has been reported to
have excellent characteristics, such as a wide electrochemical potential window, low background electricity, chemical
stability, and strong surface anti-fouling ability. In this study, water contaminated with glyphosate was employed as
sample wastewater. It was observed that BDD effectively functioned as an anode in electrochemical oxidation and
led to adjustment of water parameters, such as pH and temperature. In addition, the performances of PbO2
and BDD
as anodes were compared, and their respective efficiencies were evaluated. The degradation products of glyphosate
generated due to the electrochemical treatment of the model wastewater have been analyzed and probable pathways
for their formation are proposed.
