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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Electrochemical Technologies to Decrease the Chemical Risk of Hospital Wastewater and Urine
(MDPI, 2021-11)
The inefficiency of conventional biological processes to remove pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) in wastewater is leading to their accumulation in aquatic environments. These compounds are characterized by high toxicity, ...
The integration of ZVI-dehalogenation and electrochemical oxidation for the treatment of complex effluents polluted with iodinated compounds
(ElsevierElsevier, 2022-06)
This work evaluates the integration of dehalogenation with Zero Valent Iron (ZVI) and electrochemical oxidation (EO) for the treatment of urines polluted with iodinated X-ray contrast media (ICM). To do this, different ...
Disinfection of polymicrobial urines by electrochemical oxidation: Removal of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes
(Elsevier, 2022-03-15)
In this work, data obtained from the University Hospital Complex of Albacete (Spain) were selected as a case study to carry out the disinfection experiments. To do this, different configurations of electrochemical reactors ...
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 ...
Pressurized electro-Fenton for the reduction of the environmental impact of antibiotics
(Elsevier, 2021-12-01)
This work evaluates the performance of a pressurized heterogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) process to transform the antibiotic into compounds that do not promote the appearance of bacteria resistant to antibiotic in the ...
Removal of pharmaceuticals from the urine of polymedicated patients
(Elsevier, 2018-01)
The electrolysis with diamond anodes of synthetic urines containing different concentrations of ibuprofen and cloxacillin is evaluated in this work, with the aim of determining if this technology is effective in the ...
