A general overview on the prospective of various oxidation and combined processes in the treatment of tannery industry effluent are reported. Various oxidation and combined processes such as UV/H2O2/Hypochlorites, Fenton and Electro-oxidation, photo-chemical, photo-catalytic, electro-catalytic oxidation, wet air oxidation, ozonation, biological followed by ozone/UV/ H2O2, coagulation or electro...

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...

Electro-Fenton reactions can be very effective for organic pollutant degradation, but they typically require non-sustainable electrical power to produce hydrogen peroxide. Two-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have been proposed for pollutant treatment using Fenton-based reactions, but these types of MFCs have low power densities and require expensive membranes. Here, more efficient dual reac...

Background: This research studied the effect of UV light on pentachlorophenol (PCP) removal in the electro-Fenton (EF) process. Methods: PCP was used as the pollutant in this study. The effects of Fenton’s reagent, i.e. hydrogen peroxide concentration, solution pH, and treatment time by EF (EF) and photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) processes, were studied to determine rates of PCP removal. The r...

Graphene was prepared by reduction of graphite oxide (GO), which was obtained from oxidation of graphite powder by Hummers′ method. The graphite and graphene were detected preliminary by X-ray diffraction(XRD)、transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The graphene electrode was prapared by graphene and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The electro-catalytic char...

The application of synthetic colors in textile industries and their entry into the water and groundwater is an environmental problem because of being very toxic material. The synthetic colors which are used in textile dyeing (plyacrilic and polyester) are usually dispersing colorants. They derive the azo and anthraquinone chemicals. Electro-Fenton process is an efficient technique which can deg...

In this research, a bench-scale installation was tested for the heterogeneous electro-Fenton treatment of clofibric acid. The setup consists pressurized flow-through electrochemical cell equipped with catalyst fluidized-bed and aerated jet mixer. novelty research is two-fold: use pressurized-jet aerator on an it one first studies combining pressure catalysis in electro-Fenton. Moderate relative...
