“…Two papers [5,6] have dealt with the oxidation of triclosan at boron-doped diamond surfaces. A surfactant-coated electrode has been evaluated by Raghupathy and co-workers [7] for the oxidative detection of triclosan in aqueous media. Sirés et al [8] examined the electroFenton oxidation of triclosan in an aqueous medium of pH 3 and in an acetonitrile-water mixture; in the latter solvent, mixtures of 2,4-dichlorophenol, 4-chlorocatechol, chlorohydroquinone, chloro-p-benzoquinone, and carboxylic acids (such as maleic, oxalic, formic, and acetic acid) were obtained.…”
