Driving force of the better performance of metal-doped carbonaceous anodes in microbial fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
A comparison between different metal-doped carbonaceous anodes for air-breathing microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has been carried out in this work. In order to do that, the surface of carbon paper anodes were modified with Pt, ...
Electrokinetic flushing with surrounding electrode arrangements for the remediation of soils that are polluted with 2,4-D: A case study in a pilot plant
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
This work aimed to evaluate electrokinetic soil flushing (EKSF) technologies for the removal of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from spiked soils using an electrode configuration consisting of one cathode surrounded ...
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 ...
Thermally-treated algal suspensions as fuel for microbial fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
Three thermally-treated Chlorella vulgaris algal suspensions were fed to two-compartment microbial fuel cells (MFCs) for more than three months and performance was monitored in order to determine whether this type of fuel ...
ZVI – Reactive barriers for the remediation of soils polluted with clopyralid: Are they really Worth?
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
In this work, the remediation of soil spiked with clopyralid is evaluated using two types of zero valent iron (ZVI) barriers coupled with electrokinetic soil flushing (EKSF). These barriers consist of soil merged with iron ...
Effects of ultrasound irradiation on the electrochemical treatment of wastes containing micelles
(Elsevier, 2019-07)
This work focuses on the effect of the irradiation of ultrasound during the electrolysis of wastes polluted with micelles. To do this, synthetic wastewater (emulating the ones produced in cosmetic industry) was formulated ...
Influence of the initial sludge characteristics and acclimation on the longterm performance of double-compartment acetate-fed microbial fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
In this work, three double-compartment MFCs (DC-MFC) were operated for 1 month in order to compare their performances in terms of wastewater treatment capacity and electricity production and to get information about how ...
On the staking of miniaturized air-breathing microbial fuel cells
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
This work focuses on the scale-up of the MFCs by miniaturization and multiplication strategy. Performances of five stacks containing 1, 2, 5, 8 and 16 MFCs were compared. Each stack was evaluated under individual, parallel ...
Electrochemically Assisted Soil Washing for the Remediation of Non-polar and Volatile Pollutants
(Springer, 2021-03)
Purpose of Review
This review is focused on the removal of chlorinated hydrocarbons (as representative of persistent pollutants) from soil by soil-washing techniques, paying special attention to the application of ...
Improving the degradation of low concentration of microcystin-LR with PEM 2 electrolyzers and photo-electrolyzers
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
In this work, the performances of two electrochemical cells, a conventional liquid-electrolyte electrolyzer (LEE) and a solid-electrolyte electrolyzer (SEE) were compared for the treatment of two real water matrixes polluted ...
