This study examined the feasibility of a novel treatment train that combines electrocoagulation (EC) with electrooxidation (EO) to remove and degrade per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) from water. Electrocoagulation zinc anode could effectively PFASs water, long-chain (C7–C10) tended have higher removal rate. Foam was generated when relatively high current density (>1 mA cm?2) applied PFAS...

Rainwater collected in the Toluca region of Mexico with a pH 6.25 was treated an electrochemical process, and efficiency two supporting electrolytes were compared, one food grade (sea salt) other reagent (sodium sulfate). In first stage, rainwater characterized to detect COD content, turbidity, metals such as zinc, iron, aluminum, lead. Electrocoagulation treatment performed cell using aluminum...

Electrocoagulation bronchoscopy biopsy forceps may prevent bleeding, but could also impair the quality of the specimens obtained. Patients with endobronchial lesions during bronchoscopy underwent six endobronchial biopsies each with a hot biopsy forceps, alternating between with electrocoagulation ("hot") and without ("cold"). Bleeding was quantified on a scale of 1-4, with 1 being no bleeding....

Over the past decade the concern about toxic metals in freshwater has increased. Environmental laws such as the Clean Water Act have forced industries that produce metal containing wastewater to treat their wastewater prior to discharge. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of a novel method for the minimization of heavy metals in the wastewater from the mining industry. A very ...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Tubal ligation is one of the most commonly used contraceptive methods worldwide. Since the controversy over the potential effects of tubal sterilization still continues, this study aimed to evaluate the clinical and psychological repercussions of videolaparoscopic tubal ligation. DESIGN AND SETTING Observational, single cohort, retrospective study, conducted in a tertiar...

The electrocoagulation (EC) method, which is in situ generation of coagulating ions by applying direct electrical current to metallic electrodes, has recently been applied to remove a wide spectrum of pollutants from waters and wastewaters. However, its efficiency is highly influenced by key operational parameters such as electrolysis time and current density. Therefore, the current investigati...

The effect of acute cerebral occlusion on the distribution of cerebral perivascular nerves containing catecholamine, neuropeptide Y, and vasoactive intestinal peptide was studied in the three commonly used rat models of cerebral ischemia: Unilateral permanent middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion induced with an intraluminal thread technique; unilateral MCA occlusion produced by extraluminal e...

Arsenic contamination of drinking water is a global problem that will likely become more apparent in future years as scientists and engineers measure the true extent of the problem. Arsenic poisoning is preventable though as there are several methods for easily removing even trace amounts of arsenic from drinking water. In the present study, electrocoagulation was evaluated as a treatment techn...

This paper utilizes a statistical approach, the response surface optimization methodology, to determine the optimum conditions for the Acid Black 172 dye removal efficiency from aqueous solution by electrocoagulation. The experimental parameters investigated were initial pH: 4-10; initial dye concentration: 0-600 mg/L; applied current: 0.5-3.5 A and reaction time: 3-15 min. These parameters wer...
