The present paper investigates the potential of Galvano-Fenton process as an advanced technique in terms simultaneous oxidation a model pollutant, phenol, and energy release saving compared to conventional electrochemical techniques, namely, Fenton, Fenton-like, Electro-Fenton. A numerical describing electrochemical, electrolytic, phenol’s mineralization reactions is presented. Simulations are ...

Constructing heterostructure within electrocatalysts proves to be an attractive approach adjust the interfacial charge redistribution promote adsorption of reactive species and accelerate transfer. Herein, we present one-pot solvothermal synthesis Ti3C2 supported hollow CoS2/CoS microsphere with uneven distribution as cathodic catalyst, which displays a superior quasi-first-order degradation ra...

This work proposes an efficient combined treatment for the decontamination of a pesticide-containing wastewater resulting from phytopharmaceutical plastic containers washing, presenting a moderate organic load (COD=1662-1960 mg O₂ L⁻¹; DOC=513-696 mg C L⁻¹), with a high biodegradable organic carbon fraction (81%; BOD₅=1350-1600 mg O₂ L⁻¹) and a remaining recalcitrant organic carbon mainly due t...

This study aimed to assess, optimize and model the efficiencies of Fenton, photo-Fenton ozonation/Fenton processes in formaldehyde elimination from water wastewater using response surface methodology (RSM) artificial neural network (ANN). A sensitivity analysis was used determine importance independent variables. The influences different variables, including H2O2 concentration, initial Fe dosag...

In this work, we have tested a photocatalytic material consisting of core SiO2/Fe3O4 coated with TiO2 (Magnox) for plausible tertiary wastewater treatment. For this, pilot plant 45 L equipped an Ultraviolet light (UVC) lamp was employed to study the degradation model contaminant, enrofloxacin (ENR), as well water disinfection (elimination Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens). The influ...

19 Abstract In this work, the ozonation of emergent contaminants represented by pharmaceuticals (Sulfamethoxazole and Bezafibrate) and surfactants (Quaternary Ammonium Compounds) was studied. Results in terms of target compound degradation and mineralization along with the biodegradability and toxicity assessment of formed intermediates are presented. Moreover, a previous study about the suitab...

Abstract Water pollution is a global environmental issue with multi-dimensional influences on human life. Some strategies, such as photo-Fenton reaction, have been employed to remove recalcitrant pollutants. Two-dimensional (2D) graphene and its three-dimensional (3D) configurations attracted considerable attention emerging carbon-based catalysts in fields owing their alluring properties electr...
