RESUMO

The study of the electrochemical degradation of the ranitidine, a drug used in the therapy of gastric ulcers was development in two steps. In the first step was studied the electrochemical behavior of the ranitidine on platinum (Pt) and glassy carbon (CV) electrodes, using cyclic voltammetry in aqueous (K2SO4 0.1 M) and non-aqueous (NaClO4 0.1 M in DMF) electrolytes. The voltammetric analysis on Pt electrode in aqueous solution, with scan rate at 20 mV s-1, showed that the drug presents redox reactions in a potential range from -0.85 V to +1.2 V vs Ag/AgCl. The oxidation peak was found at -0.37 V vs Ag/AgCl, which possibly corresponds to the presence of NO2 group and the reduction peak at -0.48 V vs Ag/AgCl. In the same analysis, but using the CV electrode, the voltammetry analysis not showed defined peaks. In non-aqueous medium, the voltammetric analysis on CV electrode presented a pair of peaks at -0.63 V vs Ag/AgCl (oxidation) and -0.73 V vs Ag/AgCl (reduction). In the second step, it was constructed an electrochemical reactor, using the gas diffusion electrode (GDE) as cathodes and dimensionally stable anode (DSA-Cl2 ®). The electrolysis experiments was performed at constant current (1 ≤ A ≤ 10), outflow of 200 L h-1 and O2 pressure of 0.2 bar on the cathode. In these studies, it was evaluated the efficiency for H2O2 production, from the reaction of reduction of O2 on GDE and the influence from this product in the ranitidine degradation. The process of drug degradation, chemical/electrochemical and electro-Fenton ways using electrochemical reactor operating at laminar flow, showed best efficiency at current values of ≥ 4 A. The electrochemical reactor reached a production of 630 mg L-1 of the H2O2 at 7 A. The ranitidine concentrations was reduced in 98% (HPLC) and reached a tax of mineralization of 61.3% of the total organic matter (COD). With regard to the degradation electro-Fenton way, the ranitidine concentrations was reduced in 99.9% (HPLC) and reached a tax of mineralization of 86.7% of the total organic matter (COD).
