Removal of ciprofloxacin from aqueous solution by electro-activated persulfate oxidation using aluminum electrodes

TL;DR: The results showed that the PS process alone had no effect on the CIP removal, and the EC process alone could remove 25% of CIP after 160 min, while the second-order kinetic model was the most consistent.
