Irradiated Electrochemical Processes for the Removal of Persistent Organic Pollutants from Waters and Wastewaters

Abstract

The goal of this work is to couple US and UV irradiations to CDEO in order to improve the degradation of these persistent pollutants from waters. The efficiency of different technologies (CDEO, sonolysis, photolysis, CDSEO, CDPEO and Conductive Diamond Sono-Photo Electrochemical Oxidation, CDSPEO) is also compared, observing the influence of the technology applied in the degradation rate and the mechanism of oxidation.
