Commercial dexamethasone degradation by heterogeneous sono/photo-Fenton process using iron zeolite catalyst by an electrodeposition method.

Dexamethasone (DXM) was the first drug used to treat COVID-19, only a small part is metabolized and has been identified in wastewater and surface water, conventional treatments do not remove these compounds, therefore new technologies must be developed. A commercially injectable solution containing dexamethasone (DXM) was removed by heterogeneous sono/photo-Fenton (SPF) process using clinoptilolite zeolite (CZ) modified with Fe (CZ-Fe) by an electrodeposition method. The effect of initial concentration (1.

Denim industry wastewater treatment by a heterogeneous solar-Fenton process catalyzed by Fe supported on recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) by ultrasonic modification.

The textile industry is an important economic sector; however, its wastewater generates a great impact on the environment. A heterogeneous solar Fenton (HSF) process was evaluated for denim wastewater treatment. The catalyst was obtained through ultrasonic modification of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with Fe nanoparticles (PET/NPs- FeO).

SARS-CoV-2 pharmaceutical drugs: a critical review on the environmental impacts, chemical characteristics, and behavior of advanced oxidation processes in water.

This review summarizes research data on the pharmaceutical drugs used to treat the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus, their characteristics, environmental impacts, and the advanced oxidation processes (AOP) applied to remove them. A literature survey was conducted using the electronic databases Science Direct, Scopus, Taylor & Francis, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Springer. This complete research includes and discusses relevant studies that involve the introduction, pharmaceutical drugs used in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: chemical characteristics and environmental impact, advanced oxidation process (AOP), future trends and discussion, and conclusions.

Defluoridation of drinking water by magnesium and aluminum electrocoagulation in continuous flow-rate: a response surface design.

The goal of this research is to apply an electrocoagulation process in continuous flow for the defluoridation of drinking water. Two sampling sites were studied, Temascalcingo (T), Mexico state and Jerecuaro (J), Guanajuato, with fluoride (F) concentrations above the norms (2.3 mg L and 4.

Photo-electrooxidation treatment of Acetaminophen in aqueous solution using BDD-Fe and BDD-Cu systems.

In this study, acetaminophen (ACT) in aqueous solution was treated with electrooxidation and photo-electrooxidation processes (PEO). An electrochemical cell was used for the treatment of different concentrations of ACT (10, 50 and 80 mg L). A 2 factorial design was proposed, and the variables studied were current intensity 0.

Pre-treatment of soft drink wastewater with a calcium-modified zeolite to improve electrooxidation of organic matter.

Wastewater from soft drink manufacturing, having a high organic load (chemical oxygen demand (COD) = 4,500 mg L) and high alkalinity (2,653.7 mg L CaCO; pH 12), was pretreated with a calcium-modified zeolite to reduce the alkalinity and improve the electrooxidation of organic matter. The natural zeolite clinoptilolite was modified in various ways with Ca(OH) and CaCl.

Soft drink wastewater treatment by electrocoagulation-electrooxidation processes.

The aim of this work was to implement a coupled system, a monopolar Electrocoagulation (EC)-Electrooxidation (EO) processes, for the treatment of soft drink wastewater. For the EC test, Cu-Cu, anode-cathode were used at current densities of 17, 51 and 68 mA cm. Only 37.
