Semiconductor wastewater currently contains H2O2 which is an important reagent in wafers cleaning. Recalcitrant organic pollutant such as EDTA are always present in this type of wastewater and may represent a threat for the environment. In this work, a new photoelectrochemical reactor is proposed to remove EDTA from H2O2 contaning wastewater. First, photolysis, electrochemical peroxidation and photo-electrochemical peroxidation were compared. The results showed that the removal efficiency decreases in the sequence: UV/H2O2 «EC/H2O2
