Nanotechnology contributes towards a more effective eradication of pathogens that have emerged in hospitals, veterinary clinics, and food processing plants and that are resistant to traditional drugs or disinfectants. Since new methods of pathogens eradication must be invented and implemented, nanotechnology seems to have become the response to that acute need. A remarkable achievement in this ...

Malachite green (MG) residue in aquatic products is a widely concerning issue, and the possible source of MG contamination includes its illegal usage environmental pollution. A variety strategies for solving such problem have been proposed, research about them summarized this review. The aquaculture environments can be eliminated by adsorption, degraded advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), or b...

Treatment of textile wastewater is challenging because the water contains toxic compounds that have low biodegradability. Dyes, detergents, surfactants, biocides and more are used to improve the textile process and to make the clothes resistant to physical, chemical and biological agents. New technologies have been developed in the last decades and in particular Advanced Oxidation Processes (AO...

In this work, the issue of hospital and urban wastewater treatment is studied in two different contexts, in Switzerland and in developing countries (Ivory Coast and Colombia). For this purpose, the treatment of municipal wastewater effluents is studied, simulating the developed countries' context, while cheap and sustainable solutions are proposed for the developing countries, to form a barrier...

In recent years, the removal of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) from aqueous solutions has been gaining a lot attention researchers throughout world. This is particularly due to concern about their potential hazards toxicities, as they are classified emerging contaminants. Thus, there an increasing need investigate technologies for PPCPs at deeper more holistic level. review a...

Oxalic acid is commonly used in industry. It is also found to be the main intermediate in many advanced oxidation processes for organic removal, especially in the Fenton process. In this study, we used an electrochemical oxidation process to mineralize oxalic acid. Effects of different cathodes, anions and concentration of ferric ion on current efficiency were discussed. Better current efficien...

Photo-induced Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) using H2O2 or S2O82? as radical precursors were assessed for the abatement of six different contaminants emerging concern (CECs). In order to increase efficiency these AOPs at a wider pH range, catechol organic functional compound was studied potential assistant in photo-driven iron-based processes. Different salinity regimes also (in terms Cl? ...

This Special Issue includes manuscripts on mechanistic understanding, development, and implementation of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the removal contaminants emerging concern in water wastewater treatment. The main goal was successfully achieved under joint effort authors, anonymous reviewers, editorial managers. Totally, one review 15 research papers are included Issue. These mainl...

In meeting the need for environmental remediation in wastewater treatment and the development of popular sulfate-radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs), a series of Co/Fe-based catalysts with confirmed phase structure were prepared through extended soft chemical solution processes followed by atmosphere-dependent calcination. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micro...
