This paper deals with the degradation of diclofenac by electrochemical oxidation in NaClO<sub>4</sub> medium at neutral pH using a FM01-LC reactor equipped with a boron doped diamond electrode (BDD). Microelectrolysis studies were carried out to find the current density domain where hydroxyl radical (<sup>•</sup>OH) formation is favored, 10 ≤ j ≤ 20 mA cm<sup>-2</sup>. Electrolysis experiments at mean linear flow velocities of 14.6 ≤ u ≤ 58.4 cm s<sup>-1</sup> were performed. The experimental set-up achieved 100% diclofenac mineralization with 78% current efficiency and energy consumption of 2.54 kWh m<sup>-3</sup> at j = 15 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> and u=29.2 cm s<sup>-1</sup>.
