Cobalt mediated electro-scrubbers for the degradation of gaseous perchloroethylene
(Elsevier, 2021-09)
This work focuses on the treatment of gaseous perchloroethylene (PCE) using electro-scrubbing with diamond electrodes and cobalt mediators. PCE was obtained by direct desorption from an aqueous solution containing 150 mg ...
Energy recovery from winery wastewater using a dual chamber microbial fuel cell
(Wiley Online, 2015-07)
BACKGROUND
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can treat agro-industrial wastewater, but only a few studies have reported the treatment of winery waste and much work is needed in order to develop this interesting application of ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Geotechnical behaviour of low-permeability soils in surfactant-enhanced electrokinetic remediation
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-10)
Electrokinetic processes provide the basis of a range of very interesting techniques for the remediation of polluted soils. These techniques consist of the application of a current field in the soil that develops different ...
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 ...
The salinity effects on the performance of a constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell
(Elsevier, 2017-10)
The objective of the present work is to study the influence of the wastewater salinity concentration on the performance of a Constructed Wetland-Microbial Fuel Cell (CW-MFC) for simultaneous water pollution control and ...
