Degradation of 4-chlorophenol through cooperative reductive and oxidative processes in an electrochemical system
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Electrochemical treatment can be an effective approach for degrading recalcitrant organic contaminants because its anode/cathode produces powerful oxidizing/reducing conditions. Herein, through the cooperation of the ...
Bioelectricity generation from treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater with simultaneous seawater desalination in microbial desalination cells
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Petroleum refinery wastewater (PRW) contains a high concentration of pollutants and may pose serious environmental risks. Conventional treatment methods of PRW are energy intensive, and thus there is an urgent need to ...
Microbial desalination cells as a versatile technology: Functions, optimization and prospective
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Other)
Saline water such as seawater or brackish water is a potential source for drinking water or for non-potable applications, but the existing desalination techniques are energy intensive. Therefore, there is an urgent need ...
Understanding electricity generation in osmotic microbial fuel cells through integrated experimental investigation and mathematical modeling
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
(Graph Presented). Osmotic microbial fuel cells (OsMFCs) are a new type of MFCs with integrating forward osmosis (FO). However, it is not well understood why electricity generation is improved in OsMFCs compared to regular ...
Enhancing desalination and wastewater treatment by coupling microbial desalination cells with forward osmosis
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Both microbial desalination cells (MDCs) and forwards osmosis (FO) are emerging technologies for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. However, incomplete treatment/desalination in both technologies creates challenges ...
Performance Of Chlorella Vulgaris, Neochloris Oleoabundans, and mixed indigenous microalgae for treatment of primary effluent, secondary effluent and centrate
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The objective of this study was to investigate and compare the growth rate and treatment efficiency of Chlorella vulgaris, Neochloris oleoabundans and mixed indigenous microalgae for the removal of organic carbon, nitrogen ...
Electrochemical oxidation of ammonia on nickel oxide nanoparticles
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
NiO and NiOTiO2 nano-catalysts were synthetized using solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method and tested toward ammonia oxidation in synthetic and real wastewater. As-synthesized NiO nano-catalyst showed a tightly ...
A mini review of recent progress in the removal of emerging contaminants from pharmaceutical waste using various adsorbents
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
The presence of emerging contaminants (ECs) originating from pharmaceutical waste in water, wastewater, and marine ecosystems at various geographical locations has been clearly publicised. This review paper presents an ...
Dual functional materials capable of integrating adsorption and Fenton-based oxidation processes for highly efficient removal of pharmaceutical contaminants
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Pharmaceutical contaminants have shown widespread presence in water/wastewater threatening environmental and human health. Existing literature shows that adsorption can efficiently bind pharmaceuticals preventing their ...
Recent advances on humic acid removal from wastewater using adsorption process
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article Review)
Humic acid (HA) is a component of natural organic matter (NOM) with a high molecular weight and high complexity. The presence of humic acid in water raises serious concerns due to its toxicity and ability to form carcinogenic ...
