Tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) electro-oxidation by commercial DSA® and commercial DSA® modified by platinum electrodeposition was evaluated. The electrodeposition was carried out at constant potential (E = − 0.73 V vs RHE) in different times (1200, 2400, and 4800 s). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that Pt electrodeposits have elongated shape particle forming a uniform surface, and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) data confirms the presence of Pt on the surface. The electrochemical characterization by cyclic voltammetry showed an increase of the electrochemically active area (EAA) in function of the Pt electrodeposition time. The electro-oxidation of the TCH 0.45 mmol L⁻¹ in H₂SO₄ 0.1 mol L⁻¹ solution was evaluated according to the applied current densities (j = 25, 50, 100 mA cm⁻²). Both the amount of platinum deposited and j showed a slight improvement in the efficiency of TCH removal, reaching 97.2% of TCH removal to DSA®/Pt₄₈₀₀ and 100 mA cm⁻². The TCH mineralization (TOC removal), the percentage of mineralization current efficiency (MCE%), and energy consumption were 15.8%, 0.2649%, and 7.4138 kWh (g TOC)⁻¹, respectively. The DSA®/Pt electrodes showed higher stability to TCH electro-oxidation, indicating to be a promising material for the electro-oxidation of organic pollutants.
