Abstract
Pesticides are a specific type of emerging contaminants (ECs) that, despite being an essential part of food production, pose a significant threat to human health and aquatic ecosystems when present in surface and wastewater effluents. Although removing various contaminants, conventional water treatment processes are inefficient in eliminating pesticides from water and wastewater effluents. Pesticide intake from water affects the endocrine systems in humans and aquatic species. It leads to the need for novel, cost-effective technologies to deal with their presence in the water. Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) are a feasible alternative for the degradation of ECs, particularly pesticides in wastewater and water effluents. However, few reports show how the different EAOPs’ parameters (e.g., current density and electrode material) affect pesticide degradation efficiency. Therefore this work aims to describe the state-of-the-art of different EAOPs, their main parameters, and how they affect removing pesticides from water by reviewing the information gaps existing in various processes. It gives a perspective on future trends and developments.
