Management of solar energy to power electrochemical wastewater treatments
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
In this work, the management of photovoltaic (PV) energy, assisted by a redox flow battery (RFB), for powering an electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP), is evaluated. The storage of surplus energy allows to ...
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 ...
Modelling of the treatment of wastewater by photovoltaic solar electrochemical oxidation (PSEO) assisted by redox-flow batteries
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
This work aims at the formulation of simple and pragmatic models to predict the behaviour of a photovoltaic solar electrochemical oxidation treatment assisted by an energy storage system. Those models will be later integrated ...
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, ...
Driving force behind electrochemical performance of microbial fuel cells fed with different substrates
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
The performance of miniaturized microbial fuel cells operating with five different substrates (acetate, lactate, glucose and octanoate) were studied with the aim to identify the reason for its different performance. In all ...
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 ...
Pre-disinfection columns to improve the performance of the direct electro-disinfection of highly faecal-polluted surface water
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
This work presents the design and evaluation of a new concept of pre-disinfection treatment that is especially suited for highly polluted surface water and is based on the combination of coagulation-flocculation, lamellar ...
Can CabECO® technology be used for the disinfection of highly faecal-polluted surface water?
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
In this work, the disinfection of highly faecal-polluted surface water was studied using a new electrochemical cell (CabECO® cell, manufactured by CONDIAS) specifically designed to produce ozone in water with very low ...
Development of an innovative approach for low-impact wastewater treatment: A microfluidic flow-through electrochemical reactor
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
In this work, a novel approach for the development of fast and low-consuming electrochemical reactors for wastewater treatment is studied. It consists in the use of a microfluid flow-through cell with a very narrow ...
Treatment of real effluents from the pharmaceutical industry: A comparison between Fenton oxidation and conductive-diamond electro-oxidation
(Elsevier, 2017)
Wastewater produced in pharmaceutical manufacturing plants (PMPs), especially the one coming from organic-synthesis facilities, is characterized by its large variability due to the wide range of solvents and chemical ...
