TL;DR: In this article, an exhaustive review on the treatment of various synthetic and real wastewaters by five key EAOPs, i.e., anodic oxidation (AO), anodic oxidation with electrogenerated H 2 O 2, electro-Fenton (EF), photoelectro-fenton (PEF), alone and in combination with other methods like biological treatment, electrocoagulation, coagulation and membrane filtration processes.
Abstract: Over the last decades, research efforts have been made at developing more effective technologies for the remediation of waters containing persistent organic pollutants. Among the various technologies, the so-called electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) have caused increasing interest. These technologies are based on the electrochemical generation of strong oxidants such as hydroxyl radicals ( OH). Here, we present an exhaustive review on the treatment of various synthetic and real wastewaters by five key EAOPs, i.e., anodic oxidation (AO), anodic oxidation with electrogenerated H 2 O 2 (AO-H 2 O 2 ), electro-Fenton (EF), photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) and solar photoelectro-Fenton (SPEF), alone and in combination with other methods like biological treatment, electrocoagulation, coagulation and membrane filtration processes. Fundamentals of each EAOP are also given.

TL;DR: In this critical review, some of the most promising electrochemical tools for the treatment of wastewater contaminated by organic pollutants are discussed in detail and the critical assessment of the reactors that can be used to put these technologies into practice is devoted.
Abstract: Traditional physicochemical and biological techniques, as well as advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), are often inadequate, ineffective, or expensive for industrial water reclamation. Within this context, the electrochemical technologies have found a niche where they can become dominant in the near future, especially for the abatement of biorefractory substances. In this critical review, some of the most promising electrochemical tools for the treatment of wastewater contaminated by organic pollutants are discussed in detail with the following goals: (1) to present the fundamental aspects of the selected processes; (2) to discuss the effect of both the main operating parameters and the reactor design on their performance; (3) to critically evaluate their advantages and disadvantages; and (4) to forecast the prospect of their utilization on an applicable scale by identifying the key points to be further investigated. The review is focused on the direct electrochemical oxidation, the indirect electrochemical oxidation mediated by electrogenerated active chlorine, and the coupling between anodic and cathodic processes. The last part of the review is devoted to the critical assessment of the reactors that can be used to put these technologies into practice.

TL;DR: In this article, the fundamental principles and applications of heterogeneous electrochemical wastewater treatment based on Fenton's chemistry reaction are discussed and the required features of good heterogeneous catalysts are discussed, followed by the mechanisms of catalytic activation of H2O2 to reactive oxygen species (ROS) especially hydroxyl radical ( OH) by heterogeneous catalyst in Hetero-EF system.
Abstract: This exhaustive review focuses on the fundamental principles and applications of heterogeneous electrochemical wastewater treatment based on Fenton’s chemistry reaction. The elementary equations involved in formation of hydroxyl radical in homogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) and photo electro-Fenton (PEF) processes was presented and the advantages of using insoluble solids as heterogeneous catalyst rather than soluble iron salts (heterogeneous electro-Fenton process) (Hetero-EF) was enumerated. Some of the required features of good heterogeneous catalysts were discussed, followed by the mechanisms of catalytic activation of H2O2 to reactive oxygen species (ROS) especially hydroxyl radical ( OH) by heterogeneous catalyst in Hetero-EF system. Extensive discussion on the two configuration of Hetero-EF system vis-a-vis added solid catalysts and functionalized cathodic materials were provided along with summaries of some relevant studies that are available in literature. The solid catalysts and the functionalized cathodic materials that have been utilized in Hetero-EF wastewater treatment were grouped into different classes and brief discussion on their synthesis route were given. Besides, the use of solid catalysts and iron-functionalized cathodic materials in bioelectrochemical system (BES) especially bioelectro-Fenton technology (BEF) using microbial fuel cells (MFCs) with concurrent electricity generation for Hetero-EF treatment of biorefractory organic pollutants was discussed. In the final part, emphasis was made on the challenges and future prospects of the Hetero-EF for wastewater treatment.

TL;DR: The ferroin group has been known to react as bidentate ligands with certain metal ions such as ferrous, cuprous, and cobaltous, to give colored complex species.
Abstract: -N=C&N-, have been known to react as bidentate ligands with certain metal ions such as ferrous, cuprous, and cobaltous, to give colored complex species (1-6). This effect was first noticed with the ferrous ion ( I ) , and since this complex of a given compound is generally of a more intense color than are those with other ions (7), the atomic configuration in question was given the trivial name of the ferroin group. During the last century, hundreds of compounds containing the ferroin group have been synthesized (7), the majority of which demonstrate the ability to form complexes with the ferrous ion. Most of these complexes are only weakly colored, are unstable under normal physical conditions, or are formed over a very narrow pH range. A few of these compounds, however, form stable, intensely colored species with the ferrous ion and are, therefore, suitable for the quantitative determination of iron (8). Examples of compounds which have found acceptance for such use are 1,lOphenanthroline (9), 4,7-diphenyl-l,lO-phenanthroline (IO), 2,2‘-bipyridine (I]), 2,6-bis(2-pyridyl)-pyridine (11). 2,4,6tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (12), and phenyl 2-pyridyl ketoxime (13, 14). Many of these reagents are the product of difficult and tedious organic syntheses and, hence, are high in cost (14). Although for even the most expensive of these reagents, the cost of a single manual analysis is fairly low, when one considers automated continuous instrumental analysis, a lowcost yet highly sensitive reagent would be desirable, since the cost of maintaining such an analytical instrument with I

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the electrochemical methods used at lab and pilot plant scale to decontaminate synthetic and real effluents containing dyes, considering the period from 2009 to 2013, as an update of our previous review up to 2008.
Abstract: As the environment preservation gradually becomes a matter of major social concern and more strict legislation is being imposed on effluent discharge, more effective processes are required to deal with non-readily biodegradable and toxic pollutants. Synthetic organic dyes in industrial effluents cannot be destroyed in conventional wastewater treatment and consequently, an urgent challenge is the development of new environmentally benign technologies able to mineralize completely these non-biodegradable compounds. This review aims to increase the knowledge on the electrochemical methods used at lab and pilot plant scale to decontaminate synthetic and real effluents containing dyes, considering the period from 2009 to 2013, as an update of our previous review up to 2008. Fundamentals and main applications of electrochemical advanced oxidation processes and the other electrochemical approaches are described. Typical methods such as electrocoagulation, electrochemical reduction, electrochemical oxidation and indirect electro-oxidation with active chlorine species are discussed. Recent advances on electrocatalysis related to the nature of anode material to generate strong heterogeneous OH as mediated oxidant of dyes in electrochemical oxidation are extensively examined. The fast destruction of dyestuffs mediated with electrogenerated active chlorine is analyzed. Electro-Fenton and photo-assisted electrochemical methods like photoelectrocatalysis and photoelectro-Fenton, which destroy dyes by heterogeneous OH and/or homogeneous OH produced in the solution bulk, are described. Current advantages of the exposition of effluents to sunlight in the emerging photo-assisted procedures of solar photoelectrocatalysis and solar photoelectro-Fenton are detailed. The characteristics of novel combined methods involving photocatalysis, adsorption, nanofiltration, microwaves and ultrasounds among others and the use of microbial fuel cells are finally discussed.

TL;DR: Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) constitute important, promising, efficient, and environmental-friendly methods developed to principally remove persistent organic pollutants (POP) from waters and wastewaters.
Abstract: Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) constitute important, promising, efficient, and environmental-friendly methods developed to principally remove persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from waters and wastewaters. Generally, AOPs are based on the in situ generation of a powerful oxidizing agent, such as hydroxyl radicals (•OH), obtained at a sufficient concentration to effectively decontaminate waters. This critical review presents a precise and overall description of the recent literature (period 1990–2012) concerning the main types of AOPs, based on chemical, photochemical, sonochemical, and electrochemical reactions. The principles, performances, advantages, drawbacks, and applications of these AOPs to the degradation and destruction of POPs in aquatic media and to the treatment of waters and waste waters have been reported and compared.
