Performance and mechanism of sulfamethoxazole degradation on a Magneli-phase Ti₄O₇ reactive electrochemical membrane.

ABSTRACT: Antibiotics have emerged as a new class of environmental contaminants of global concern due to their persistence and potential ecotoxicological impacts. In order to enhance antibiotic removal efficiency, it is necessary to develop cost-effective and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment technologies. Magnéli-phase titanium oxide (Ti₄O₇) presents a promising solution, combining excellent metallic-like conductivity with ceramic-like corrosion resistance. In this study, the electrochemical oxidation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) with a Ti₄O₇ reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) as the anode and stainless steel as the cathode was systematically investigated. The effects of key operational parameters, including current density, initial pH, supp
