Advanced oxidation processes
In the present work, the potentiality of the hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) for the degradation of organic pollutants from industrial effluents has been studied. Cavitation is a phenomenon of formation, growth, collapse of microbubbles or cavities, in a few milli- to microseconds and releases large...Read more
Ozonation, advanced oxidation and hydrodynamic cavitation for removal of persistant pollutants
(Corresponding) Žgajnar Gotvajn A., Čehovin M.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Ozone is commonly used in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in combinations with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and UV radiation (UV). Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) has been experimentally proven to result in effects, typical of AOPs. Combinations of AOPs with O3, H2O2 and UV, and HC (with cavitation...Read more

Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the feasibility of new generation and stable Sn/Sb/Ni-Ti anodes for treatment of wastewater containing Ampicillin (AMP) antibiotic by electrochemical oxidation processes. Ampicillin concentration was 0.05 g L-1 in the aqueous solution. Residual ampicillin...Read more

Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The application of non-thermal plasmas in wastewater and air purification received a lot of attention, but their potential application in drinking water treatment has scarcely been investigated. Classified as Advanced Oxidation Processes, plasmas ignited in water or at the air-water interface...Read more
Fluoride-free Anodization of Titanium and the Photocatalytic Behaviour the Produced TiO2 Nanostructures
Taylor C., (Corresponding) Wenk J., Mattia D.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Current methods for anodizing titania to produce immobilized titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst require the use of hazardous fluoride electrolytes. A fluoride-free electrolyte anodization method was developed. The electrolytes tested in this study were both bromide- and chloride-based and...Read more
Laboratory scale study of photooxidation treatment for removal of pharmaceutical residues from water matrices
(Corresponding) Záray G., Dóbé S., Gombos E., Krakkó D., Mihucz V.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The effluent of wastewater treatment plants applying conventional three steps treatment procedure contains non-degradable organic micro-pollutants, mostly pharmaceutical residues. In Germany and Switzerland granulated activated carbon is used to reduce the concentration of these contaminants by...Read more
A practical time discretization methodology for adjusting the dosage profile in photo-Fenton processes
Xiangwei Y., Graells M., (Corresponding) Perez-Moya M.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Photo-Fenton processes are effective for mineralizaing aqueous solutions containing emergent pollutants. Accordingly, a number of works has been dedicated to determining conditions enhancing their performance (Pouran et al.,2015; Wang et al.,2016).
Despite improvements, solutions are still far...Read more

Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Abstract
Raceway pond reactors (RPRs) have been widely used in microalgae mass culture (Acien et al., 2013) and their application for micro pollutant removal in photo-Fenton processes has been recently assessed (Rivas et al., 2015). The main advantages of raceway pond reactors are being low cost...Read more
