Long-term effects of the transient COD concentration on the performance of microbial fuel cells
(Wiley, 2016-04-12)
In this work, the long-term effects of transient chemical oxygen demands (COD) concentrations over the performance of a microbial fuel cell were studied. From the obtained results, it was observed that the repetitive change ...
Effect of electric field on the performance of soil electro-bioremediation with a periodic polarity reversal strategy
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
In this work, it is studied the effect of the electric fields (within the range 0.0–1.5 V cm−1) on the performance of electrobioremediation with polarity reversal, using a bench scale plant with diesel-spiked kaolinite ...
New prototypes for the isolation of the anodic chambers in microbial fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2016-10)
This work has been focused on the assessment of new prototypes of MFC in which a more strict separation of the anode and cathode compartments is looked for, in order to attain strict anaerobic conditions in the anode chamber ...
Improved Electrodes for High Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells using Carbon Nanospheres
(Wiley, 2016-04-14)
This work evaluates the use of carbon nanospheres (CNS) in microporous layers (MPL) of high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) electrodes and compares the characteristics and performance with those ...
INFLUENCE OF SLUDGE AGE ON THE PERFORMANCE OF MFC TREATING WINERY WASTERWATER
(Elsevier, 2016-05)
The objective of this paper was to determine the influence of sludge age on microbial fuel cell (MFC) performance for generating electricity and removing organic matter from winery wastewater. Six Solid Retention Times ...
Combining bioadsorption and photoelectrochemical oxidation for the treatment of soil-washing effluents polluted with herbicide 2,4-D
(Wiley, 2016-04-15)
Abstract
BACKGROUND
The aim of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of complete treatment of soil spiked with 2,4‐D, consisting of soil washing, followed by bioadsorption with activated sludge and electrochemical ...
Performance of wind-powered soil electroremediation process for the removal of 2,4-D from soil
(Elsevier, 2016-04-15)
In this work, it is studied a wind-powered electrokinetic soil flushing process for the removal of pesticides from soil. This approach aims to develop an eco-friendly electrochemical soil treatment technique and to face ...
Application of electrokinetic soil flushing to four herbicides: a comparison
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2016-06)
In this work, four bench-scale plants containing soil spiked with four herbicides (2,4-14 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), oxyfluorfen, chlorsulfuron and atrazine) undergo treatment consisting of an electrokinetic soil ...
Synergism between anodic oxidation with diamond anodes and heterogeneous catalytic photolysis for the treatment of pharmaceutical pollutants
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The mineralization of diclofenac and acetaminophen has been studied by single anodic oxidation with boron-doped diamond (AO-BDD) using an undivided electrolysis cell, by single heterogeneous catalytic photolysis with ...
Scale-up on electrokinetic remediation: Engineering and technological parameters
(Elsevier, 2016-09-05)
This study analyses the effect of the scale-up of electrokinetic remediation (EKR) processes in natural soils. A procedure is proposed to prepare soils based on a compacting process to obtaining soils with similar moisture ...
