Electrochemical incineration of organic pollutants: effect of the nature of the pollutants and of the temperature
2009
The electrochemical oxidation of some organic pollutants, including three carboxylic acids (oxalic, formic and maleic), at boron doped diamond (BDD) and DSA anodes, using galvanostatic alimentation, was investigated in order to study the effect of the temperature and of the nature of the pollutants on the process. In incineration electrolyses, the performances of the process in terms of carboxylic acid conversion and current efficiency dramatically depend on the adopted operative conditions. The abatement of the organic pollutant depends on the nature of the carboxylic acid. Quite interestingly, the opposite effect of the nature of the substrate on the performances of the process was observ…

ELECTROCHEMICAL MICROREACTORS FOR THE ABATEMENT OF ORGANIC POLLUTANTS IN WATER SOLUTION
2015
Electrochemical methods can offer new sustainable routes for the abatement of organic pollutants resistant to biological processes. These methods use a clean reagent, the electron, and very mild operative conditions (ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure) with limited operative costs. However, electrochemical processes present some important disadvantages when performed in conventional reactors. In particular, to achieve reasonable cell voltages when the medium has not an adequate conductivity, one needs adding to the system a supporting electrolyte. This is certainly a main obstacle for a wide application of electrochemical tools. Indeed, adding chemicals is often a problematic issu…

ELECTROCHEMICAL CONVERSION OF CARBON DIOXIDE TO FORMIC ACID IN A PRESSURIZZED FILTER PRESS CELL
2018
To limit the negative effect of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas, an interesting approach is the utilization of Carbon Capture and Conversion (CCC) methodology, which is focused on the use of CO2 waste as a feedstock to produce added-value product by using the excess electric energy from renewable source [1]. In this framework, an increasing attention has been devoted in the electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide to formic acid in water [2,3], which is considered one of the more attractive pathway to convert CO2. Since the main hurdle of the CO2 reduction from aqueous solution is the low CO2 solubility in water, in this work, the effect of some operating parameters, including pressu…
Electrochemical remediation of kaolin-soil contaminated by phenol: effect of several operative parameters
Electrochemical remediation technology is considered an appealing strategy for the remediation of fine- grained soils, characterized by a low hydraulic conductivity and large specific surface area, contaminated with inorganic, organic, and mixed pollutants. In both Electrokinetic (EK) and Electrochemical Geo-Oxidation (ECGO) technologies, an electric field is imposed on the contaminated soil to remove the pollutants by the combined mechanisms of electroosmosis, electromigration, and/or electrophoresis. Moreover, ECGO uses low voltage and both direct and alternating amperage (DC/AC) applied in a proprietary series to induce reduction-oxidation reactions on soil surfaces at the micro-scale. A…
