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, ...
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 ...
Pre-disinfection columns to improve the performance of the direct electro-disinfection of highly faecal-polluted surface water
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
This work presents the design and evaluation of a new concept of pre-disinfection treatment that is especially suited for highly polluted surface water and is based on the combination of coagulation-flocculation, lamellar ...
Can CabECO® technology be used for the disinfection of highly faecal-polluted surface water?
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
In this work, the disinfection of highly faecal-polluted surface water was studied using a new electrochemical cell (CabECO® cell, manufactured by CONDIAS) specifically designed to produce ozone in water with very low ...
Development of an innovative approach for low-impact wastewater treatment: A microfluidic flow-through electrochemical reactor
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
In this work, a novel approach for the development of fast and low-consuming electrochemical reactors for wastewater treatment is studied. It consists in the use of a microfluid flow-through cell with a very narrow ...
Treatment of real effluents from the pharmaceutical industry: A comparison between Fenton oxidation and conductive-diamond electro-oxidation
(Elsevier, 2017)
Wastewater produced in pharmaceutical manufacturing plants (PMPs), especially the one coming from organic-synthesis facilities, is characterized by its large variability due to the wide range of solvents and chemical ...
Occurrence and toxicity impact of pharmaceuticals in hospital effluents: Simulation based on a case of study
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
In the University Hospital of Albacete (Spain), the distribution of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) was studied to estimate the occurrence of the most prevalent analgesics and anti-inflammatories and antibiotics ...
