Electrochemically induced Fenton (electro-Fenton) reaction was used for efficient and controllable preparation of hydroxyl radicals, leading to the generation of luminescent quantum dots through etching of as-exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets. Morphologic changes of MoS2 nanosheets during the electro-Fenton reaction were monitored using transmission electron microscopy, showing that etching of MoS2 na...

The applicability of electro-Fenton technology to remediation of wastewater contaminated by several organic pollutants such as dyes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has been evaluated using iron-enriched zeolite as heterogeneous catalyst. The electro-Fenton technology is an advanced oxidation process that is efficient for the degradation of organic pollutants, but it suffers from the high o...

The electrochemical advanced oxidation method “Electro-Fenton” has been applied to remove 17β-estradiol (17β) estra-1,3,5(10)-triéne-3,17-diol) in aqueous-acetonitrile mixture. This endocrine disrupting is a steroid hormone, releases from humans, animals and residual pharmaceuticals into the environmental water and usually causes suspected undesirable effects in aquatic organisms. The degradati...

background: electrochemical methods, as one of the advanced oxidation processes (aops), have recently been applied to remove different contaminants from water and wastewater. this study compares the performance of anodic oxidation (ao) and electro-fenton (ef) methods on waste sludge treatment. methods: this experimental study was performed on real sludge and the effect of operating parameters s...

Electro-Fenton reactions can be very effective for organic pollutant degradation, but they typically require non-sustainable electrical power to produce hydrogen peroxide. Two-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have been proposed for pollutant treatment using Fenton-based reactions, but these types of MFCs have low power densities and require expensive membranes. Here, more efficient dual reac...

several laundry houses throughout tehran consume a large amount of water each day and discharge the resulting wastewater into septic tanks or municipal sewage system without any suitable pretreatment. this would result in severe contamination and other serious environmental issues. in the present study, performance of electrocoagulation/flotation process with aluminum and iron electrodes is com...
