Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation Processes (EAOPs) for Environmental Applications

Conventional processes for water treatment are inefficient for the remediation of wastewaters containing toxic and biorecalcitrant organic pollutants. A large number of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been successfully applied to degrade pollutants present in waters. These methods are based on the generation of a very powerful oxidizing agent such as hydroxyl radical ( • OH) in solutio...

Environmental biocatalysis: from remediation with enzymes to novel green processes.

Modern biocatalysis is developing new and precise tools to improve a wide range of production processes, which reduce energy and raw material consumption and generate less waste and toxic side-products. Biocatalysis is also achieving new advances in environmental fields, from enzymatic bioremediation to the synthesis of renewable and clean energies and biochemical cleaning of 'dirty' fossil fue...

Label-free electrochemical biosensors for food and drug application

In food sector, there is a huge demand for rapid, reliable, user & eco-friendly biosensors to analyse the quality and safety of food products. Biosensor based methodology depends upon the recognition of a specific antigens or receptors by corresponding antibodies, aptamers or high-affinity ligands. The first scientifically commercialised sensors were the electrochemical sensors used for the ana...

The Quest for Environmental Information - Towards a Mobile Application for GHG Emission Tracking in Meat Production Processes

In the context of increasing greenhouse gas emissions, especially the meat processing industry is under pressure by the society to report their product’s environmental impact, which is ten times higher than for products from vegetable origin. However, meat processing companies struggle with the collection and provision of detailed data, as production processes are complex and variable. Recent r...
