The overuse of herbicides has posed a threat to human health and the aquatic environment via DNA mutations antibiotic gene resistance. Carbon-based cathodic electrochemical advanced oxidation evolved as promising technology for herbicide degradation by generating hydroxyl radicals (•OH). However, conventional electro-Fenton process relies on interaction multiple species that adds system complex...

Abstract An electro-Fenton-like reaction process relying on peroxymonosulfate activation can stably degrade chloramphenicol (CAP) within 16 min, where the kinetic rate constant be as high 0.089 min −1 and energy consumption value low 25.1 kWh•m^ −3 . Evidence indicated that use of a Na 2 SO 4 solution electrolyte enhance CAP degradation due to rapid electron transfer properties. The generated e...

The aim of this study was to determine the toxicity cefixime in inlet solution and effluent treated with sono-electro-Fenton process using standard strains microorganisms. This research performed as an experimental study, which conducted on a laboratory scale. Escherichia coli (gram-negative) Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive) were used for bioassay. First, stock 1000 mg/L containing Cefixim...

While it remains a challenging task, having fundamental understanding of the influence water matrix composition is central importance for removal pollutants in electrochemical treatment processes. This work studied effect complexity different matrices on endocrine disruptors using advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) based H2O2 electrogeneration. The study helped improve synthetic and real urba...

The electro-Fenton process (EF) has faced major challenges, including mass transfer limitations. When the targeted pollutants are present in water at very low concentrations, degradation kinetics slower than desired, which leads to high energy consumption. To overcome this drawback, coupled adsorption on activated carbon (AC) and EF can be performed. Therefore, compounds preconcentrated AC befo...
