Electrochemical systems equipped with 2D and 3D microwave-made anodes for the highly efficient degradation of antibiotics in urine
(Elsevier, 2021-10-01)
This work focuses on the importance of choosing a suitable electrochemical cell to remove antibiotics from urines. For this purpose, we investigate the use of two electrochemical cells for electrolysis and photo-electrolysis ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Towards a more realistic heterogeneous electro-Fenton
(Elsevier, 2021-08-15)
With the aim of bringing the heterogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) treatment one step closer to a more realistic operation, the scaling-up of that technology was evaluated. Assays were performed firstly at lab scale in a ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
