The main objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of coupling an electrochemical process with a biological treatment for the degradation of sulfamethazine, a biorecalcitrant antibiotic. The electrochemical behavior of sulfamethazine was examined by cyclic voltammetry, showing an electroactivity in oxidation. The pre-treatment was carried out using an electrochemical flow cell invo...

vanillin offers interesting possibilities for corrosion inhibition because of its safe use and highsolubility in water. the effect of vanillin on the corrosion inhibition of aisi 304 stainless steel in0.5m h2so4 solution has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (eis). furthermore, this paper demonstrates that the electrochemical noise(en) tec...

Electrochemical microsensors are ideal to measure substances with low concentration in complex environments. The primary excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate is present in many foods as a distinctive flavour (enhancer) with a wide concentration range. In comparison to other methods, electrochemical sensors allow the rapid, precise, cost-effective, online measurement without any sample treatm...

The electrochemistry of a poly(viny1ferrocene) (PVF) film of ca. 2100 8, was investigated in 1 M aqueous NaC104 solution with electrochemical and scanning microscopic techniques. The potential-step transients show well-defined maxima that a re very similar to those found for the electrochemical switching of electronically conductive polymers, e.g., polypyrrole and polyaniline. We explore here t...

Electrochemical oxidation of biologically-pretreated dye wastewater was performed in a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode system. After electrolysis of 12h, the COD was decreased from 532 to 99 mg L(-1) (<100 mg L(-1), the National Discharge Standard of China). More importantly, the destination of organic pollutants during electrochemical oxidation process was carefully investigated by molecular w...

Unexplored electrochemical behavior of abiraterone, a recent and widely used prostate cancer drug, in interaction with cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzyme and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is investigated in this work. The results reported in this work are significant for personalized medicine and point-of-care chemical treatment, especially to improve the life expectancy and quality of...

The problems related to the electrochemical/electrocatalytic stability of perchlorate ions are reviewed in the light of recent experimental results. The electrocatalytic, catalytic, and electrochemical reduction processes are presented and the links between them are outlined. Some possible mechanisms of the complicated reduction processes are discussed. Various methods for the detection of redu...
