Remediation of phthalates in river sediment by integrated enhanced bioremediation and electrokinetic process

Degradation of phthalate esters and acetaminophen in river sediments using the electrokinetic process integrated with a novel Fenton-like process catalyzed by nanoscale schwertmannite

“…As also mentioned above, the present authors' group has reported two studies on remediation of phthalates in sediment using two different EK integrated technologies other than the present study: (1) EK coupled with nano-Fe 3 O 4 /S 2 O 8 2À oxidation (Yang et al, 2015b) and (2) integrated enhanced bioremediation and electrokinetic process (Yang et al, 2016).

“…EK coupled with nano-Fe 3 O 4 /S 2 O 8 2À oxidation has been employed for remediation of phthalate esters in river sediment (Yang et al, 2015b). Very recently, the same research group has further reported the remediation of phthalates in river sediment by integrated enhanced bioremediation and electrokinetic process (Yang et al, 2016).…”

Dredged-Sediment-Promoted Synthesis of Boron-Nitride-Based Floating Photocatalyst with Photodegradation of Neutral Red under Ultraviolet-Light Irradiation

“…The combination of bioleaching and Fenton-like reaction can effectively remove trace metals (including Cd, Zn, Cu, and Pb) in DS . Bioremediation has also been coupled with electrokinetic methods to remove phthalate esters in DS …”

“…21 Bioremediation has also been coupled with electrokinetic methods to remove phthalate esters in DS. 22 So far, many useful building materials have been synthesized by calcining DS at high temperature. The advantage of recycling DS at high temperature is that the organic pollutants in DS can be burned, forming carbon dioxide, and the metallic pollutants in DS can be converted to metal oxide when DS is transformed to useful material at high temperature.…”
