Improving the biodegradability of hospital urines polluted with chloramphenicol by the application of electrochemical oxidation
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
This work focuses on improving the biodegradability of hospital urines polluted with antibiotics by electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs). To do this, chloramphenicol (CAP) has been used as a model compound ...
Enhancement of UV disinfection of urine matrixes by electrochemical oxidation
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
This work focuses on the removal of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) contained in hospital urines by UV disinfection enhanced by electrochemical oxidation to overcome the limitations of both single processes in the ...
A review on disinfection technologies for controlling the antibiotic resistance spread
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
The occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in water bodies poses a sanitary and environmental risk. These ARB and other mobile genetic elements can be easily spread from hospital facilities, the point in which, ...
The role of chloramines on the electrodisinfection of Klebsiella pneumoniae in hospital urines
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
In this work, the electrochemical disinfection of synthetic hospital urines inoculated with Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) as antibiotic resistant bacteria model was evaluated, paying special attention to the formation ...
Disinfection of urine by conductive-diamond 1 electrochemical oxidation
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
This work focuses on the application of electrolysis with diamond anodes for the disinfection of urine. To do this, a synthetic human urine was polluted with Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and then, it was ...
Innovative photoelectrochemical cell for the removal of CHCs from soil washing wastes
(Elsevier, 2020-01)
This work presents a novel photoelectrochemical cell concept for the treatment of soil washing effluents polluted with chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs). This cell combines the use of low current densities and the direct ...
Electrochemical Technologies to Decrease the Chemical Risk of Hospital Wastewater and Urine
(MDPI, 2021-11)
The inefficiency of conventional biological processes to remove pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) in wastewater is leading to their accumulation in aquatic environments. These compounds are characterized by high toxicity, ...
The integration of ZVI-dehalogenation and electrochemical oxidation for the treatment of complex effluents polluted with iodinated compounds
(ElsevierElsevier, 2022-06)
This work evaluates the integration of dehalogenation with Zero Valent Iron (ZVI) and electrochemical oxidation (EO) for the treatment of urines polluted with iodinated X-ray contrast media (ICM). To do this, different ...
Disinfection of polymicrobial urines by electrochemical oxidation: Removal of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes
(Elsevier, 2022-03-15)
In this work, data obtained from the University Hospital Complex of Albacete (Spain) were selected as a case study to carry out the disinfection experiments. To do this, different configurations of electrochemical reactors ...
Are we correctly targeting the research on disinfection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB)?
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) is one of the biggest public health challenges of our time since causes thousands of human deaths per year. ARB are bacteria which acquire resistance over time through different mechanism ...
