A Critical View of Microbial Fuel Cells: What Is the Next Stage?
(Wiley, 2018-10)
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have garnered interest from the scientific community since the beginning of this century and this has caused a considerable increase in the scientific production of MFCs. However, the ability ...
Toward the Development of Efficient Electro-Fenton Reactors for Soil Washing Wastes through Microfluidic Cells
(ACS, 2018-07)
This work focuses on the coupling of three different approaches into the same reactor at the same time: microfluidic cells, anodic oxidation with diamond anodes, and an electro-Fenton process. To supply oxygen a jet aerator ...
Biofilm and planktonic population distribution. Key aspects in carbonaceous anodes for microbial fuel cells
(Wiley, 2018-05)
BACKGROUND
A comparison between different carbon-based anodes used in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has been carried out. Five different carbonaceous anodes were studied: carbon paper, carbon cloth, carbon foam 30 ppi, ...
Exploring the applicability of a combined electrodialysis/electro-oxidation cell for the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
The improvement in the treatment efficiency of diluted effluents is one of the great challenges faced by electrochemical technology nowadays. In the present work, it is aimed to develop an electrochemical cell for the ...
The Role of Mediated Oxidation on the Electro-irradiated Treatment of Amoxicillin and Ampicillin Polluted Wastewater
(MDPI, 2018-12)
In this work, the electrolysis, photoelectrolysis and sonoelectrolysis with diamond electrodes of amoxicillin (AMX) and ampicillin (AMP) solutions were studied in the context of the search for technologies capable of ...
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 ...
Competitive Anodic Oxidation of Methyl Paraben and Propylene Glycol: Keys to Understand the Process
(Wiley, 2018-10)
This work focuses on the competitive oxidation of two very different molecules, when they underwent electrochemical oxidation with diamond electrodes. To shed light on the mechanisms of this competitive oxidation, solutions ...
Coupling Ultrasound to the Electro-Oxidation of Methyl Paraben Synthetic Wastewater: Effect of Frequency and Supporting Electrolyte
(Wiley, 2018-10)
In this paper, electrooxidation of methyl paraben (MeP) is studied by electrolysis only and electrolysis coupled with sonolysis, using a diamond electrode. Complete mineralization of MeP was achieved for both processes, ...
A new strategy for the electrolytic removal of organics based on adsorption onto granular activated carbon
(Elsevier, 2018-05)
In this paper, a new strategy for the electrochemical treatment of organic pollutants is introduced. This is based on the concentration of organics by adsorption onto granular active carbon (GAC) with the consequent ...
Reversible electrokinetic adsorption barriers for the removal of organochlorine herbicide from spiked soils
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
This work aims to describe the removal of clopyralid from clay soils using electrokinetically assisted soil flushing (EKSF) coupled with a permeable reactive barrier (PRB), consisting of beds of Granulated Activated Carbon ...
