Acrylic acid (AA) is widely used as a raw material in the industrial production of various chemicals. Its extensive use has produced environmental problems that need to be solved. The Ti/TaO-IrO electrode, a type of dimensionally stable anode, was used to investigate the electrochemical deterioration of AA.

In this study, novel self-supported Ti-doped titanium dioxide nanotube arrays (R-TNTs) anodes were successfully prepared by a two-step anodic oxidation and straightforward electrochemical reduction technique. The electrochemical reduction self-doping treatment produced more Ti sites with stronger absorption in the UV-vis region, a band gap reduction from 2.

Chloramphenicol (CAP), a kind of widely used antibiotics, was chosen as the model compound to investigate its degradation during electrochemical treatment process. The prepared Ti/PbO-La electrodes had a denser surface and a more complete PbO crystal structure than Ti/PbO electrode.

In this study, a Ti/IrO-TaO anode was prepared by a hydrothermal method, and the prepared electrode was characterized by techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electron dispersive spectroscopy. At the same time, the anode characteristics before and after electrochemical experiments were analyzed. The electrode gradation mechanism of oxytetracycline is discussed.
