Removal of sulfate from mining waters by electrocoagulation
(Elsevier, 2017-07-12)
This work focuses on the removal of sulfate from mining waters by using electrocoagulation with iron electrodes. A comparison of the results obtained by electrocoagulation with those obtained with the application of ...
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 ...
Understanding the influence of the bioaerosol source on the distribution of airborne bacteria in hospital indoor air
(Elsevier, 2023-01)
The composition and concentration of airborne microorganisms in hospital indoor air has been reported to contain airborne bacteria and fungi concentrations ranged 101–103 CFU/m3 in inpatients facilities which mostly exceed ...
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, ...
Depletion of ARGs in antibiotic-resistance Klebsiella, Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus in hospital urines by electro and photo-electro disinfection
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
The depletion of blaKPC (K. pneumoniae), blaOXA-50 (P. aeruginosa) and mecA (S. aureus) genes from hospital urines is evaluated to contribute to solve the silent pandemic of antibiotic-resistance bacteria. A microfluidic ...
Disinfection of urine by conductive-diamond 1 electrochemical oxidation
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
This work focuses on the application of electrolysis with diamond anodes for the disinfection of urine. To do this, a synthetic human urine was polluted with Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and then, it was ...
Disinfection of urines using an electro-ozonizer
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
In this work, the disinfection of urines polluted with Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) using a commercial electro-ozonizer is described. The device consists of a membrane-electrode assembly flow cell that specially ...
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 ...
Electrochemical Technologies to Decrease the Chemical Risk of Hospital Wastewater and Urine
(MDPI, 2021-11)
The inefficiency of conventional biological processes to remove pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) in wastewater is leading to their accumulation in aquatic environments. These compounds are characterized by high toxicity, ...
The Role of the Anode Material in Selective Penicillin G Oxidation in Urine
(Wiley, 2019)
In this work, the removal of antibiotic penicillin G by electrolysis
with boron doped diamond (BDD) and mixed metal oxide
(MMO) anodes in urine media is evaluated. First, electrolysis in
different water matrices (sulfate, ...
