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...

In this study, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) from a pharmaceutical wastewater (PhW) was reduced by several techniques such as electro-Fenton (EF), photo electro-Fenton (PEF) and activated sludge (AS) processes and the obtained data were compared with each other. The effects of several parameters such as pH, current density, H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio, volume ratio of ...

Three carbon materials from a varied origin, composition and porosity have been used as cost-effective cathodes in different electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (i.e. anodic (AO) electro-Fenton (EF) homogeneous heterogeneous catalysis modalities) for the degradation of an antibiotic (e.g., metronidazole). In general, efficiency towards pollutant increased as: AO < EF EF. The approach w...

For the treatment of 2-naphthol wastewater, homogeneous electro-Fenton process was considered as an effective method but some disadvantages greatly restrict its application. The three-dimensional (3D-EF) system using a nano zero-valent iron-supported biochar (NZVIs-BC) particle electrode and Cu-supported stainless steel (Cu-SSE) proposed to avoid electro-Fenton. In this work, 3D-EF developed, w...

Background: Car wash wastewater contains several contaminants such as organic matter, oil, grease, detergents and phosphates, all of which are harmful for the environment. In this study, the application of electrocoagulation (EC) to treat car wash wastewater has been studied, and the operating parameters optimized. The electro-Fenton (EF) for further contaminant removal was also investigated. ...

Introduction: Perchloroethylene (PCE) is one of the most well-known chlorinated organic compounds recently detected in aqueous environments. The presence of PCE in aquatic ecosystems has caused many health problems and environmental challenges. Therefore, its removal and treatment from aqueous environments are essential. Materials and Methods: The electro-Fenton (EF) process was carried out in...

Currently, the presence of emerging contaminants in water sources has raised concerns worldwide due to low rates mineralization, and some cases, zero levels degradation through conventional treatment methods. For these reasons, researchers field are focused on use advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) as a powerful tool for persistent pollutants. These AOPs based mainly in-situ production hydroxy...
