Application of the electrosorption technique to remove Metribuzin pesticide

A short review of activated carbon assisted electrosorption process: An overview, current stage and future prospects

“…9. A comparison of the surfaces exhibited no evident difference while the polarized potential is less than 600 mV, and with the enhancement of 800 mV, pits formation appear to be occurred on the surfaces, attributed to the development of active oxidizing free radicals [58].…”

“…Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) images of activated carbon fibers: (a) initial surface, (b) to (f) after polarizing at 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 mV, respectively[58].…”

Preparation of a manganese dioxide/carbon fiber electrode for electrosorptive removal of copper ions from water

“…Electrosorption is a separation technology combining adsorption and electrochemical methods, used to remove ionic contaminants such as salt ions [1,2], heavy metal ions [3][4][5][6], anions [7], and organics [8,9] from water, and has received extensive attention and support due to its advantages of both waste minimization and reduced processing costs. It has been generally defined as potential-induced adsorption on the surface of charged electrodes.…”

Structural effects on electrosorptive behavior of aromatic organic acids from aqueous solutions onto activated carbon cloth electrode of a flow-through electrolytic cell

“…They proposed two flow-through electrochemical cell configurations for electrosorptive removal of aromatic organic molecules using activated carbon fibers which were found to be more effective than granular activated carbons used as pack-bed electrodes. More recently, Kitous et al [16] carried out studies on flow-through electrosorption of metribuzin pesticide onto granular activated carbon bed electrode. They found that, the capacity of electrode was increased more than 100% when desired electrical potential was applied in comparison with the conventional granular activated carbon column in similar experimental conditions without electrical potential.…”
