They primarily include various pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antiviral drugs, beta-blockers, lipid regulators, anticonvulsants, and X-ray contrast agents, as well as personal care products.

[0089] 11. Cyclic degradation experiment. Experimental conditions: 100 mL of 10 mg / L propranolol aqueous solution was measured, and 1.4204 g of Na2SO4 electrolyte was added. After mixing, the mixture was poured into an electrolytic cell with Ti4O7 as the anode and a pure titanium mesh of the same size, polished with 400 cc sandpaper, as the cathode. 0.2 g / L of catalyst and persulfate (2 mM) were added. A constant current density of 20 mA / cm² was used in a two-electrode system. 2 The magnetic stirring speed was 750 r / min, and the oxidation was carried out at room temperature for 30 min at pH 5.94.

[0090] Figure 18 This refers to five degradation cycles of a 3D electrocatalytic PMS coupled system constructed from the Cu@CA catalyst prepared in Example 1 by annealing at 400 °C. Figure 18 As shown, the degradation rate of the 3D electrocatalytic PMS coupling system did not change significantly after five consecutive degradation cycles.
