We report here a case of giant vulval condyloma in a two-year-old infant infected by her "baby sitter" without sexual abuse. Treated by surgical excision coupled with electrocoagulation, it was noted a rapid recurrence two weeks after treatment requiring a second electrocoagulation session. More than a year later, no lesion was noted, thus demonstrating therapeutic success. The unavailability o...

Small and insular communities are sometimes not served by an efficient Wastewater Treatment Plant, this is a hazard for both the environment public health. A wastewater treatment apparatus based on electrocoagulation process (EC) was tested with municipal from small community in Northern Greece maximum of 6500 population equivalents. COD decrease assessed under various parameters: current inten...

Twelve horses underwent standing laparoscopic ovariectomy using electrocoagulation and fine dissection as the only means of achieving haemostasis of the severed ovarian pedicle. Four mares had bilateral ovariectomy performed as a treatment for aggressive behaviour thought to be associated with the oestrous cycle. Eight mares had unilateral ovariectomy performed for removal of a granulosa thecal...

This study presents an investigation of electrochemical variables and an application of the optimal parameters in operating a continuous upflow electrocoagulation reactor in removing dye. Direct red 23, which is azo-based, was used as a representative of direct dyes. First, a batch mode was employed to optimize the design parameters: electrode type, electrode distance, current density and elect...

This study investigates the influence of operating parameters (current density, detention time and time of electrolysis) on COD and color removals from a simulated basic dyebath effluent using electrocoagulation (EC) with iron electrodes in continuous flow mode. Till today, researchers are mainly focused on use of EC systems in batch processes. Looking to large quantities of wastewater from tex...

During recent years, industrialization has been under steady growth. Almost every Industry, uses water as one of their basic resources, due to which discharge wastewater also increased. One such industry is textile industry. There are various methods treat these effluents. those Peroxi-Electrocoagulation. This method an advanced electrochemical oxidation process involves principles electrocoagu...

electrochemically generated iron can remove most contaminants present in water and wast water, by precipitation, adsorption, electrostatic interaction, and complex formation (generally called electrocoagulation-ec). in the present paper, pretreatment of brackish water having high total hardness (th), alkalinity (a),  and cl¯ ions, is studied by application of a dc-electrical current ot the iron...

Textile dyeing is considered to be one of the major industrial sources of high rates of organic and aromatic compounds. Conversely, these compounds have become a significant environmental problem. Many methods have been investigated for color removal from dye-containing wastewater. In this research, the efficiency of the electrocoagulation (EC) process with aluminum electrodes in the removal of...

Treatment of an azo dye, Reactive Black 5 (RB5) by combined electrocoagulation-activated carbon adsorption-microwave regeneration process was evaluated. The toxicity was also monitored by the Vibrio fischeri light inhibition test. GAC of 100 g L(-1) sorbed 82% of RB5 (100 mg L(-1)) within 4h. RB5-loaded GAC was not effectively regenerated by microwave irradiation (800 W, 30s). Electrocoagulatio...

Electrochemical water treatment is gaining increasing popularity due to its wide range of potential applications, decreasing costs, and suitability as a decentralized alternative, but mainly it being considered ”green technology”. In the field municipal wastewater treatment, use iron electrocoagulation (Fe-EC) has been marginal although disinfection reported, underlying mechanisms are not fully...
