Research Abstract

We developed and evaluated a new method for inactivation of clinical wastewater based on electrolysis. We electrolyzed solutions of 10 groups of individual antibacterials, mixtures of them, and an antiviral drug, oseltamivir (TamifluTM). Almost all samples were able to inactivate by electrolysis. Furthermore, to develop a method for the detoxification of medicines in excreta, an antineoplastic solution in the presence of human urine was electrolyzed and evaluated. We found that the method can inactivate chemicals in urine, and succeeded to expand the application of this method.
