Coupling photo and sono technologies to improve efficiencies in conductive diamond electrochemical oxidation
(Elsevier, 2014-01)
In this work, the improvements obtained in the conductive-diamond electrochemical oxidation (CDEO) by simultaneous coupling of ultrasounds (US) and UV-light irradiation are studied for the treatment of synthetic wastes ...
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 pesticide 2,4-D by conductive-diamond photoelectrochemical oxidation
(Elsevier, 2016-01)
In this work, the removal of pesticide 2,4-D by single photolysis, electrolysis with BDD anode and a combined UV irradiation—electrolysis is studied. Results demonstrate that although photolysis is completely inefficient ...
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 ...
Performance of wind-powered soil electroremediation process for the removal of 2,4-D from soil
(Elsevier, 2016-04-15)
In this work, it is studied a wind-powered electrokinetic soil flushing process for the removal of pesticides from soil. This approach aims to develop an eco-friendly electrochemical soil treatment technique and to face ...
The Role of Mediated Oxidation on the Electro-irradiated Treatment of Amoxicillin and Ampicillin Polluted Wastewater
(MDPI, 2018-12)
In this work, the electrolysis, photoelectrolysis and sonoelectrolysis with diamond electrodes of amoxicillin (AMX) and ampicillin (AMP) solutions were studied in the context of the search for technologies capable of ...
Conductive-Diamond Electrochemical Oxidation of Surfactant-Aided Soil-Washing Effluents
(ACS Publications, 2010)
Washing of soils polluted with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using surfactant is a widely used technique. Once the pollutant is transferred to the washing solution, the polluted wastewater has to be treated. In ...
Combined soil washing and CDEO for the removal of atrazine from soils
(Elsevier, 2015-12)
In this work, it is studied the removal of atrazine from spiked soils by soil washing using surfactant fluids, followed by the treatment of the resulting washing waste by electrolysis with boron doped diamond anode. Results ...
Application of electrokinetic soil flushing to four herbicides: a comparison
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2016-06)
In this work, four bench-scale plants containing soil spiked with four herbicides (2,4-14 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), oxyfluorfen, chlorsulfuron and atrazine) undergo treatment consisting of an electrokinetic soil ...
