Functionally modified natural materials based hydrogels were intensively reviewed for the adsorption of heavy metal ions, dyes, pharmaceuticals and hazardous organic micropollutants in industrial effluents.
Lignin-derived carbon is introduced as a promising electrode material for water desalination by using capacitive deionization (CDI). Lignin low-cost precursor that obtained from the cellulose and ethanol industries, we used carbonization subsequent KOH activation to obtain highly porous carbon. CDI cells with pair of lignin-derived electrodes presented an initially high salt adsorption capacity but rapidly lost their beneficial performance. To capitalize on porosity stabilize performance,...
The sugarcane ethanol industry is currently generating an intensive amount of biowaste while consuming significant water resources. In this work, bagasse fly ash (SCBFA), a major with high amounts fixed carbon, employed as precursor for activated carbon (SCBFA-AC) production. Here, SCBFA-ACs are valorized the main component electrodes in capacitive deionization (CDI), emerging desalination technology. way, abundant and low-cost could be used green alternative to treat water. Different...
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a technology used for water desalination and ion recovery based on the use of capacitive electrodes. Typically, porous carbon electrodes CDI display limited storage capacity selectivity due to mechanism in electric double layer, but impressive improvements have been achieved using alternative, redox-based electrode materials, including conducting polymers like polyaniline (PAni). PAni capable capturing anions redox chemistry, it degrades at anodic potentials...
Industrial wastewater containing non-biodegradable organic pollutants consists of highly toxic effluents whose treatment is necessary due to environmental and economical restrictions. In order treat these effluents, an electrochemical process using a dimensionally stable anode (DSA®) boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode was studied. The performance electrodes for COD removal from aqueous phenol solution evaluated in the absence presence different chloride concentrations. results showed that...
