As electrochemical oxidation technologies are energy-intensive, they are sparsely included in wastewater treatment plants. This study demonstrates a self-reliable glucose driven-electro-Fenton (GD-EF) system for decontamination of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy (2,4-D) herbicides without the supply of external current or voltage. It incorporates a cathode (graphite) which accepts electrons from abiotic glucose oxidation at anode (Pt/Ti or BDD or PbO/Cu/Ti) and generates HO. For the first time, the ability of Pt/Ti, BDD, and PbO/Cu/Ti anodes in GD-EF and their influence on 2,4-D decontamination rate have been studied. Pt/Ti and PbO/Cu/Ti exhibited maximum power densities of 60.42 and 219.3 µW cm, respectively than BDD (2.418 µW cm). Even though Pt/Ti fuel cell exhibited lower power density than the PbO/Cu/Ti - fuel cell, it had a faster 2,4-D degradation rate of = 18 × 10 s. The generated cathodic potential of -0.275 mV vs. Ag/AgCl in the Pt/Ti-fuel cell was sufficient to produce 23 mg Lh of HO. The high performance liquid chromatography analysis reveals the complete transformation of 2,4-D in 540 min and its degradation by 95% in 1080 min. This finding paves the way for greener decontamination of bio-recalcitrant herbicides with zero electrochemical energy consumption.

This study aims to develop a cheap method for the evaluation of quality of water or the assessment of the treatment of water by chemical oxygen demand (COD) measurements throughout the use of the HSV color model in digital devices. A free application installed on a smartphone was used for analyzing the images in which the colors were acquired before to be quantified. The proposed method was also validated by the standard and spectrophotometric methods, demonstrating that no significant statistical differences were attained (average accuracy of 97 %).

The choice of anode materials has a significant influence on the electrocatalytic degradation of organics. Accordingly, the electrocatalytic activity of several active anodes (Ti/Ru-Ir, Ti/Ir-Ta, Ti/Pt) and non-active anodes (Ti/PbO, Ti/SnO, Si/BDD (boron-doped diamond)) was compared by electrocatalytic degradation of m-cresol. The results indicated Si/BDD electrode had the strongest mineralization ability and the lowest energy consumption.

Self-doped TiO nanotube arrays (DNTA) were prepared for the electrooxidation of resistant organics. The anatase TiO NTAs had an improved carrier density and conductivity from Ti doping, and the oxygen-evolution potential remained at a high value of 2.48 V versus the standard hydrogen electrode, and thus, achieved a highly enhanced removal efficiency of phenol.
