Degradation of 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid spiked in 0.050 M Na2SO4 and in real OOMW.
Quicker mineralization in the order AO-H2O2 < EF < PEF in all media using a BDD anode.
Pseudo-first-order decay of 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid in all treatments.
Almost total mineralization achieved by the powerful PEF process in 0.050 M Na2SO4.
Up to 80% mineralization with strong biodegradability enhancement in the real OOMW matrix.
