A complete phenol oxidation pathway obtained during electro-Fenton treatment and validated by a kinetic model study

Removal performance and microbial communities in a sequencing batch reactor treating hypersaline phenol-laden wastewater

“…It is recommended that the maximum amount of phenol exposure should be an average of 20 mg per day for mankind and phenol ranging from 5 to 25 ppm will be 3 lethal to fish (Mollaei et al, 2010). Numerous systems based on physicochemical methods such as ozonization, electro-Fenton, adsorption, have been used to remove such toxic aromatic substrates (Turhan and Uzman, 2008;Hu et al, 2015;Mousset et al, 2016). Many kinds of microorganisms are able to completely mineralize or convert complex organic matters to relatively simple compounds such as H 2 О, СО 2 , Н 2 , CH 4 , NH 3 , etc (Krastanov et al, 2013).…”

Effect of the anode materials on the efficiency of the electro-Fenton process for the mineralization of the antibiotic sulfamethazine

“…One of the most popular EAOPs is the electro-Fenton process in which  OH are produced electrocatalytically through the Fenton reaction (1); in this reaction H2O2 is electrogenerated from dissolved oxygen (reaction (2)) and the Fe 2+ (catalyst) is regenerated by electroreduction of Fe 3+ produced from reaction (1) [19], [22], [26] and [27].…”

Degradation of pharmaceuticals by ultrasound-based advanced oxidation process

“…The oxamic and pyruvic acid can easily be oxidized to oxalic and acetic acid, respectively. It was found that even though the aromatic intermediates are decayed very fast (Mousset et al 2016), the carboxylic acids are very hard to degrade (Brillas et al 2009;Mousset et al 2016). This is the reason for the lower TOC reduction in most of the cases.…”
