New insights about the electrochemical production of ozone
(Elsevier, 2021)
Ozone is a rather attractive oxidant, it is very efficient in the oxidation of pollutants and in the killing of pathogens and does not generate any hazardous waste during its use. Its generation has been constantly sought ...
Improving sustainability of electrolytic wastewater treatment processes by green powering
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
This work focuses on the evaluation of the impact of powering electrolytic wastewater treatment processes with grid or renewable energy on the sustainability of this electrochemical remediation technology. To face this ...
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 ...
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, ...
Strategies for the electrobioremediation of oxyfluorfen polluted soils
(Elsevier, 2019-02)
This work compares three strategies for the in-situ remediation of oxyfluorfen polluted clay soil, based on the combination of biological processes and electrokinetics (EK): (i) EK-biostimulation, in which the action of ...
Coupling UV light and US irradiation with CDEO for the removal of progesterone
(Elsevier, 2014-09)
This work focusses on the improvement of the efficiency of Conductive Diamond Electrochemical Oxidation (CDEO) by coupling US and UV irradiation in the degradation of progesterone from wastewater. Results show that CDEO ...
Effect of sludge age on the consortium of microorganisms microbial consortia developed in MFCs
(Wiley, 2017-10)
BACKGROUND: This work is focused on the assessment of the performance of mini-scale air-breathing microbial fuel cells (MFCs),by monitoring the evolution of the bio-electrogenic activity for a period of 40 days and by ...
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 ...
Understanding ozone generation in electrochemical cells at mild pHs
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
In this work, the production of ozone at mild pH conditions using a commercial electrochemical PEM cell CONDIAPURE Ⓡ is evaluated, at once a phenomenological model is proposed to understand the basis of the processes that ...
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, ...
