The efficacious of AOP-based processes in concert with electrocoagulation in abatement of CECs from water/wastewater

Abstract Combining electrocoagulation with another process is a potential strategy for increasing the efficiency of water and wastewater pollutant removal. The integration advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) (EC) demonstrates improved performance. mechanism EC combined ozone (O 3 ), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O sulfate radicals, electrooxidation (EO), Fenton/electro-Fenton, UV discussed. This review sheds light on EC-AOP hybrid in terms their mechanisms, development, challenges, application removal contaminants emerging concern (CECs). majority articles claimed performance when AOP as pre-treatment, especially removing recalcitrant contaminants. For instance, integrated EC-Fenton/photo-Fenton have been shown to be promising treatment virtually complete phenolic compounds oil refinery wastewater. In EC-EO process, boron doped diamond (BDD) anode, despite being costly electrode, has highest therefore most suitable type mineralization organic pollutants. PFASs are more effective at removed from through zinc Ti 4 7 electrodes treatment. Furthermore, peroxone synergistic effects between coagulants played almost equal dominant role ibuprofen using EC-O . However, enough data conducting these industrial scale or real wastewaters do not exist, so there lack comprehensive systematic approaches address complexity such systems. Although great number papers were focused degradation effluents different industries, viruses, pharmaceuticals, sufficient research herbicides, pesticides, microplastics, micropollutants.
