RESEARCH
Títle: Application of advanced oxidation processes to the decontamination of
organic pollutants in liquid and solid matrixes focusing in environmentally friendly
technologies.
Description:
Society technological advances and environmental requirements claim for the
development of highly effective, low cost and environmental friendly technologies
able to degrade emerging organic pollutants. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs)
are highly efficient treatments based on the generation of the powerful oxidizing
agent hydroxyl radical capable of degrade organic compounds until their
mineralization. However the use of these technologies requires the handling and
manufacture of reagents or the use of power suppliers.
Therefore the aim of this study is twofold:
-
-
The development and optimization of AOPs for the treatment of organic polluted
effluents and soils such as photocatalysis, electro-Fenton and electrochemical
processes.
The environmentally friendly production of energy from renewable sources such
as microbial fuel cells and hydrogen evolution from water splitting.
