Management of solar energy to power electrochemical wastewater treatments
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
In this work, the management of photovoltaic (PV) energy, assisted by a redox flow battery (RFB), for powering an electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP), is evaluated. The storage of surplus energy allows to ...
A Critical View of Microbial Fuel Cells: What Is the Next Stage?
(Wiley, 2018-10)
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have garnered interest from the scientific community since the beginning of this century and this has caused a considerable increase in the scientific production of MFCs. However, the ability ...
Modelling of the treatment of wastewater by photovoltaic solar electrochemical oxidation (PSEO) assisted by redox-flow batteries
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
This work aims at the formulation of simple and pragmatic models to predict the behaviour of a photovoltaic solar electrochemical oxidation treatment assisted by an energy storage system. Those models will be later integrated ...
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, ...
Exploring the applicability of a combined electrodialysis/electro-oxidation cell for the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
The improvement in the treatment efficiency of diluted effluents is one of the great challenges faced by electrochemical technology nowadays. In the present work, it is aimed to develop an electrochemical cell for the ...
A new electrochemically-based process for the removal of perchloroethylene from gaseous effluents
(Elsevier, 2019-04)
Removal of perchloroethylene using combined granular active carbon (GAC) adsorption and electrolysis is evaluated in this research. There is an interest in the regeneration of GAC using methanol solutions, because this ...
Reversible electrokinetic adsorption barriers for the removal of organochlorine herbicide from spiked soils
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
This work aims to describe the removal of clopyralid from clay soils using electrokinetically assisted soil flushing (EKSF) coupled with a permeable reactive barrier (PRB), consisting of beds of Granulated Activated Carbon ...
Development of a module of stacks of air-breathing microbial fuel cells to light-up a strip of LEDs
(Elsevier, 2018-06)
This work focuses on scaling-up of the microbial fuel cells technology according to the principle of miniaturization and multiplication. Seven stacks of 16 mini-MFCs (electrodic area of 0.866 cm2) were built up leading to ...
Are electrochemical fences effective in the retention of pollution?
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
In this work, a three-month test is used to evaluate the role of electrokinetic fences in the prevention of the diffusion of herbicide in case of accidental spills of large amounts of highly concentrated products in clay ...
