Abstract

Amoxicillin is one of β-lactam antibiotic in penicillin groups which their presence in surface water and wastewater not only affects water quality but also causes long-term adverse effects on ecosystems and human health due to their resistance to natural biodegradation. The processing of organic waste electrochemically has the advantage of cheap and efficient cost, exhaust gas that does not contain toxic and hazardous materials. We have studied the process of amoxicillin electro-oxidation mediated by a cobalt (III) ion called an electrochemical oxidation process mediated (MEO) in a voltammetry study using a platinum working electrode, Pt/Co(OH)2 and Pt/Co in various supporting electrolytes such as  KNO3, NaClO4, Na2SO4 and phosphate buffer solution with concentrations 0.10 M. The results show that the amoxicillin oxidation peaks using the above-mentioned working electrode in various electrolyte solutions are in the potential range of 500-670 mV (Ag/AgCl). The presence of cobalt ions forming complex compounds with amoxicillin causes the oxidation current decreasing that indicates the presence of degradation to amoxicillin.
