introduction: as a physical treatment, electrochemical therapy (echt) has provided an effective and useful  approach  for  treating  localized  tumors.  the  chemical  changes  due  to  a  direct  electric  current  destroy  the  tumor. this study evaluates the effect of electrical dose and polarity on the efficacy of the treatment of a  colon tumor model.  materials and methods: in order to in...

Microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is one of the promising and cutting-edge technologies for generating hydrogen from wastewater through biodegradation of organic waste by exoelectrogenic microbes. In the MECs, the operational parameters, such as applied voltage (Eap), anode surface area, anode-cathode distance, and N2/CO2 volume ratio have a significant impact on the hydrogen yield and producti...

Graphene oxide (GO) is an emerging material for energy and environmental applications, but it has been primarily produced using chemical processes involving high energy consumption and hazardous chemicals. In this study, we reported a new bioelectrochemical method to produce GO from graphite under ambient conditions without chemical amendments, value-added organic compounds and high rate H2 wer...

A microbial reverse-electrodialysis electrolysis cell (MREC) was used to produce hydrogen gas from fermentation wastewater without the need for additional electrical energy. Increasing the number of cell pairs in the reverse electrodialysis stack from 5 to 10 doubled the maximum current produced from 60 A/m(3) to 120 A/m(3) using acetate. However, more rapid COD removal required a decrease in t...
