Solar-powered electrokinetic remediation for the treatment of soil polluted with the herbicide 2,4-D
(Elsevier, 2016-02)
In this work, the removal of a model pesticide (2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 2,4-D) using Electrokinetic Soil Flushing (EKSF) powered directly by DC current or by solar panels during a 15 days long treatment has been ...
Solar-powered CDEO for the treatment of wastewater polluted with the herbicide 2,4-D
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
In this work, the remediation of wastewater polluted with 2,4-D via conductive-diamond electrochemical oxidation using solar energy as a direct electrical power source has been investigated. The changes in operating ...
Is it worth the use of bipolar electrodes in electrolytic wastewater treatment processes?
