Rapid catalytic degradation of refractory textile dyes in Fe(II)/chlorine system at near neutral pH: Radical mechanism i...
Published in Separation and Purification Technology
Owing to the marked stability and resistance to biodegradation of synthetic dyes, their removal from industrial wastewater is a very difficult process. Herein, we investigated the feasibility of Fe(II)/chlorine system to remove synthetic dyes from water. It was found that the presence of chlorine in solution containing 25 µM of Fe(II) at pH 5 accel...
Energetic challenges and sonochemistry: A new alternative for hydrogen production?
Published in Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry
The present article constitutes an objective review and a constructive analysis of the main bibliographic results regarding the production of hydrogen using ultrasound. In spite of clear trends showing the efficiency of sonolysis for H2 production, as compared to conventional techniques, reported by several authors, many debates are still opened re...
Sonolytic ozonation for water treatment: efficiency, recent developments, and challenges
Published in Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry
In recent years, ozonation combined with ultrasound (US/O3 process) has been actively researched as a promising method of advanced oxidation processes. Comparing with ozonation or ultrasound alone, it appears to be more effective and uses less energy, and it has the advantages of being nonselective, leading to no secondary pollution, and being part...
