Boron doped diamond electrooxidation of 6:2 fluorotelomers and perfluorocarboxylic acids. Application to industrial wastewaters treatment

Treatment of Pharmaceutically Active Compounds by Electrooxidation Using Boron Doped Diamond and Platinum Anodes

Boron-doped diamond anodic treatment of olive mill wastewaters: statistical analysis, kinetic modeling and biodegradability.

The electrochemical treatment of olive mill wastewaters (OMW) over boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes was investigated. A factorial design methodology was implemented to evaluate the statistically important operating parameters, amongst initial COD load (1000-5000 mg/L), treatment time (1-4h), current intensity (10-20A), initial pH (4-6) and the use of 500 mg/L H(2)O(2) as an additional oxida...

Application of Boron-doped Diamond Electrodes for Wastewater Treatment

Boron-doped diamond (BDD) thin film is a new electrode material that has received great attention recently because it possesses several technologically important characteristics such as an inert surface with low adsorption properties, remarkable corrosion stability, even in strong acidic media, and an extremely wide potential window in aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes. Due to these properti...

Superconductivity in boron-doped diamond.

Superconductivity of boron-doped diamond, reported recently at T(c)=4 K, is investigated exploiting its electronic and vibrational analogies to MgB2. The deformation potential of the hole states arising from the C-C bond-stretch mode is 60% larger than the corresponding quantity in MgB2 that drives its high T(c), leading to very large electron-phonon matrix elements. The calculated coupling str...

Metal-to-insulator transition and superconductivity in boron-doped diamond.

The experimental discovery of superconductivity in boron-doped diamond came as a major surprise to both the diamond and the superconducting materials communities. The main experimental results obtained since then on single-crystal diamond epilayers are reviewed and applied to calculations, and some open questions are identified. The critical doping of the metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) was...
