This work evaluates the performance of a pressurized heterogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) process to transform antibiotic into compounds that do not promote appearance bacteria resistant in environment. Experimental system consisted non divided microfluidic electrochemical cell equipped with jet aerator, flow-through electrodes and fluidized bed goethite as iron catalyst. Results show meropenem (m...

This paper reviews the application of indirect electro-oxidation processes such as electroFenton, photoelectro-Fenton and peroxi-coagulation to decontaminate waters containing persistent pesticides. The fundamentals of these electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) are described. They are environmentally friendly technologies based on the electrogeneration of H2O2 at a carbonaceous ...

Petrochemical manufacturing wastewaters often contain a high concentration of biodegradable com-pounds that possess either toxicity or activity inhibition to the biological unit. In this paper, COD removal from Petrochemical wastewaters by electro-Fenton process was studied. The effect of operating conditions such as reaction time, current density, pH, H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio, and H2O2 of petroch...

Abstract Remediation of contaminated soil and sediment is important for improving the eco-environmental quality. Electro-kinetic remediation (EKR) an environmentally friendly technology to migrate remove pollutants from matrix. This paper analyses mechanism performance EKR heavy metals, organic pollutants, compound pollutants. Moreover, effect optimizing individual through pre-treatment (adding...

Advanced oxidation processes such as Fenton reagent generates highly reactive hydroxyl free radicals to oxidize various compounds in the water and wastewater. The efficiency of different Fenton-related oxidative processes such as Fenton, solar-Fenton, UV-Fenton and Fenton reactions in different batch reactors was examined using benzene as pollutant in aqueous solutions. A batch study was conduc...

A new cathodic material for electro-Fenton (EF) process was prepared based on a macroscopic fiber (CNTF) made of mm-long carbon nanotubes directly spun from the gas phase by floating catalyst CVD, on a carbon fiber (CF) substrate. CNTF@CF electrode is a highly graphitic material combining a high surface area (~260 m2/g) with high electrical conductivity and electrochemical stability. One kind o...

In recent years, the removal of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) from aqueous solutions has been gaining a lot attention researchers throughout world. This is particularly due to concern about their potential hazards toxicities, as they are classified emerging contaminants. Thus, there an increasing need investigate technologies for PPCPs at deeper more holistic level. review a...
