“…In this section, only hydroquinone solutions were used. This substance was selected because hydroquinone and benzoquinone which is formed as a byproduct in the oxidation of hydroquinone, are the most common intermediates in the degradation processes of many aromatic pollutants, such as paracetamol [28]. Where V R is the solution (reservoir) volume (m 3 ), k m is the mass transfer coefficient in the electrochemical cell (m s −1 ), A is the electrode area (m 2 ), COD 0 is the initial value of COD (mol O 2 m −3 ), α = j appl j 0 lim , j appl is the applied current density (A m −2 ), and j lim is the limiting current density (A m −2 ).…”
