a general overview on the prospective of various oxidation and combined processes in the treatment of tannery industry effluent are reported. various oxidation and combined processes such as uv/h2o2/hypochlorites, fenton and electro-oxidation, photo-chemical, photo-catalytic, electro-catalytic oxidation, wet air oxidation, ozonation, biological followed by ozone/uv/ h2o2, coagulation or ele...

Abstract In this study , palladium nano-particles were electro deposited galvano - statically on carbon black powder (Vulcan XC -72R). The catalytic activity for electro - oxidation of ethanol and methanol in alkaline media were studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry techniques. The results indicated that the electro-oxidation of ethanol and methanol strongly depends o...

we explore electro-catalytic properties of a system consisting of platinum and palladium nanoparticles dispersed over a nanotubular self-organized tio2 matrix. these electrodes prepared by electroess and microemulsion of palladium and palladium nanoparticles on to tio2 nanotubes, respectively. titanium oxide nanotubes were fabricated by anodizing titanium foil in ethylene glycol (eg) fluoride-c...

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-oxidation reactions using a nickel anode were carried out on the calcium-spent liquor effluent obtained from Sappi Saiccor (formerly South African Industrial Cellulose Corporation) dissolving pulp mill as well as on ligninand lignan-type compounds previously identified in the effluent. Voltammograms were obtained for each solution in order to identify the oxidation potentials of the com...

Palladium nanoparticles supported on carbon black powder (Vulcan XC-72) nanocomposite (Pd/C) are synthesized as the catalyst for the anodic oxidation of glucose for use in a direct glucose alkaline fuel cell (DGAFC). Characterization of the catalyst is carried out using physical and electrochemical methods. It is observed that Palladium nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed onto the carbon blac...

Pt and PtSn catalysts were studied for n-butanol electro-oxidation at various temperatures. PtSn showed a higher activity towards butanol electro-oxidation compared to Pt in acidic media. The onset potential for n-butanol oxidation on PtSn is ∼520 mV lower than that found on Pt, and significantly lower activation energy was found for PtSn compared with that for Pt.

In the present study, Nickel-Copper nanoparticles were electrodeposited on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by using electroplating deposition method. The prepared electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental mapping analysis. Results showed that Ni-Cu nanoparticles with a high density are distributed at the surface of the glassy carbon electrode. Subsequentl...
