Advanced oxidation processes like Fenton and photo-Fenton have been effectively applied to oxidize the persistent organic compounds in solid waste leachate and convert them to unharmful materials and products. However, there are limited data about application of Fenton-like process in leachate treatment. Therefore, this study was designed with the objective of treating municipal landfill leacha...

The tetracycline group (TCs) includes the most common antibiotics for treatment of both human and animal infections. TCs are resistant to biological degradation; hence, conventional wastewater treatments unable remove these contaminants. Here, utilization different electrochemical processes, such as electro-Fenton (EF), direct anodic oxidation (AO) indirect by electrogenerated active chlorine (...

pentachlorophenol (pcp) is a very hazardous compound which enters into the environment byindustries such as refineries and petrochemicals. as its biological degradation is very slow, this usemay cause the pollution of soils and groundwater; with the recent emergence of pentachlorophenolcontamination as an important drinking water quality issue, finding an easy, economical, and usefulmethod to r...

This work aims to study the ability of using single and sequential electro-Fenton (EF) electrocoagulation (EC) processes in order treat tannery wastewater. The first method was run with an air diffusion cathode for H2O2 generation boron–doped diamond (BDD) as anode. second conducted mild steel electrodes. applied processes' performance monitored by removals chemical oxygen demand (COD) along to...

In the present study, response surface methodology was employed to investigate effects of main variables, including initial MB concentration, hydrogen peroxide dosage, current density, and electrolysis time on removal efficiency using electro-Fenton (EF) process. The concentration determination by UV-VIS spectrometer. EF process degrades contaminant molecules highly oxidizing species •OH. A qua...

Bacterial elongation factor P (EF-P) plays a pivotal role in the translation of polyproline motifs. To stimulate peptide bond formation, EF-P must enter the ribosome via an empty E-site. Using fluorescence-based single-molecule tracking, Mohapatra et al. (S. Mohapatra, H. Choi, X. Ge, S. Sanyal, and J. C. Weisshaar, mBio 8:e00300-17, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1128/mBio.00300-17) monitored the ce...

Advanced oxidation processes such as Fenton reagent generates highly reactive hydroxyl free radicals to oxidize various compounds in the water and wastewater. The efficiency of different Fenton-related oxidative processes such as Fenton, solar-Fenton, UV-Fenton and Fenton reactions in different batch reactors was examined using benzene as pollutant in aqueous solutions. A batch study was conduc...

The electro-Fenton process (EF) has faced major challenges, including mass transfer limitations. When the targeted pollutants are present in water at very low concentrations, degradation kinetics slower than desired, which leads to high energy consumption. To overcome this drawback, coupled adsorption on activated carbon (AC) and EF can be performed. Therefore, compounds preconcentrated AC befo...

While it remains a challenging task, having fundamental understanding of the influence water matrix composition is central importance for removal pollutants in electrochemical treatment processes. This work studied effect complexity different matrices on endocrine disruptors using advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) based H2O2 electrogeneration. The study helped improve synthetic and real urba...

This study focused on the effects of electro-oxidation combined with electro-Fenton process using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes degradation biorefractory food colorant caramel. Aqueous solutions containing Caramel Class IV, III and Acid Orange 7 were comparatively treated by electrochemical advanced oxidation processes, including (EO), (EF) (EO + EF). The experiments performed in a stirr...
