Full Factorial Experimental Design for Carbamazepine Removal Using Electrochemical Process: a Case Study of Scheming the Pathway Degradation

Carbamazepine is an antiepileptic drug which is considered one of the persistent compounds detected in Malaysian aquatic environment. In this present study, a full factorial experimental design was applied for the analysis of effect NaCl amount, initial concentration of carbamazepine, applied voltage and treatment time on the electrochemical removal percentage of carbamazepine. However, applied voltage was found as the most significant factor with p = 0.00 lower than 95% confidence level. The investigation of effect NaCl and Na2SO4 on the pathway degradation for carbamazepine was provided usin...
