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 ...
A tube-in-tube membrane microreactor for tertiary treatment of urban wastewaters by photo-Fenton at neutral pH: A proof of concept
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
This work presents a disruptive approach to promote highly-efficient photo-Fenton process at neutral pH under continuous mode operation. The system consists of a tube-in-tube membrane reactor designed for continuous-flow ...
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 ...
Removal of sulfate from mining waters by electrocoagulation
(Elsevier, 2017-07-12)
This work focuses on the removal of sulfate from mining waters by using electrocoagulation with iron electrodes. A comparison of the results obtained by electrocoagulation with those obtained with the application of ...
Irradiation-assisted electrochemical processes for the removal of persistent pollutants from wastewater
(ELSEVIER, 2017-03-24)
In this work, it is studied the treatment of real wastewater (intensified with two target compounds) using electro-irradiated technologies. Two types of effluents coming from an organic-synthesis pharmaceutical industry ...
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 ...
Removal of algae from biological cultures: a challenge for electrocoagulation?
(Wiley, 2014-11-13)
BACKGROUND
In the search for novel technologies for the treatment of urban wastewater, combined anaerobic–algae membrane bioreactors have become a very interesting choice. Recovery of algae produced in these reactors has ...
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 ...
