In this work, the fluoxetine (FLX) removal has been studied via the anodic oxidation (AO) process. Anode electrodes were Ti/RuO, Ti/RuO-IrO, and Ti/RuO-IrO-SnO, and cathode electrodes were graphite and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The performances of electrodes were compared in terms of FLX removal efficiency.

The aim of this study was to develop a bioactive dressing based on polymers and natural materials with unique biological and therapeutic properties.
Method: The dressing was composed of an active layer containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), honey, curcumin and keratin, and an upper layer with lower hydrophilicity comprising PVA to induce flexibility.
