Article Abstract

In this study, the integration of the electrocoagulation (EC) process with anaerobic digestion as a novel in-situ biomethanation approach was considered for the first time. As a result of this integration (iron electrodes, current density of 1.5 mA/cm and an exposure mode of 10-min-ON/ 30-min-OFF), the carbon dioxide content of biogas reached below 2%. Also, the methane production rate improved by 18.0 ± 0.4%, whereas the removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand, turbidity, phosphate, and sulfate increased by 12.0 ± 1.5%, 30.7 ± 1.7%, > 99%, and 75.7%, respectively. Anaerobic granular sludge characteristics were also improved. Moreover, the EC process stimulated growth and quantity of functional microorganisms, especially Acinetobacter in bacterial and Methanobacterium in archaeal community. Methane concentration, however decreased due to possible excess hydrogen production. The application of the biogas as bio-hythane, and the optimization of the hybrid bioreactor to decrease hydrogen production, are possible avenues for further research.

Background: Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), as a minimally invasive method that can stably collect intracranial electroencephalographic information over long periods, has increasingly been applied in the diagnosis and treatment of intractable epilepsy in recent years. Over the past 20 years, with the advancement of materials science and computer science, the application scenarios of SEEG have greatly expanded. Bibliometrics, as a method of scientifically analyzing published literature, can summarize the evolutionary process in the SEEG field and offer insights into its future development prospects.

The reuse of electro-coagulated sludge as an adsorbent for Cr(VI) ion reduction was investigated in this study. Electro-coagulated sludge was obtained during the removal of citric acid wastewater by the electrocoagulation process. The following parameters were optimized for Cr(VI) reduction: pH (5-7), initial Cr(VI) concentration (10-50 mg/L), contact time (10-45 min), and adsorbent dosage (0.

Paper mills inevitably produce various pollutants, including chlorolignin, chlorophenols, chloroguaiacol, furan, cyanide, and heavy metals. These pollutants cause significant threats to aquatic and terrestrial life. The pulp and paper industries are looking for eco-friendly solutions for the disposal of effluents during paper processing.

Algae-laden brackish water (ABW) has remarkably threatened drinking water safety in warm coastal areas. Although gravity-driven ceramic membrane filtration (GDCM) exhibits high potential in ABW treatment during decentralized water supply, membrane fouling is still a critical problem. Herein, GDCM was skillfully electro-functionalized (EGDCM) by in-situ electro-oxidation (ISEO) based on self-fabricated Ti/SnO-Sb dimensionally stable anode (DSA) (EO-EGDCM) and ex-situ electro-coagulation (ESEC) based on iron anode (EC-EGDCM) in this study.

Iodinated contrast medias (ICMs) can act as an iodine source to react with dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the chlorination process to form toxic iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs). In this study, a coupled process of electrically activated PMS and electrocoagulation (EO-PMS/EC) was constructed to simultaneously remove iopamidol (IPM) and DOM, which has a dual control effect on the formation of I-DBPs. This system achieved a 90.
