Treatment of cheese whey wastewater by electrochemical oxidation using BDD, Ti/RuO-TiO, and Ti/RuO-IrO-Pt anodes: ecotoxicological and energetic evaluation.

The effectiveness of boron-doped diamond (BDD) and titanium metal-mixed oxides (Ti/MMO: Ti/RuO-TiO and Ti/RuO-IrO-Pt) anodes to treat cheese whey wastewater (CWW) by electrochemical oxidation (EO) was evaluated. The results show that EO with BDD is effective in the removal of organic compounds. Conversely, Ti/MMO anodes exhibit higher removals of nitrogenated compounds.
