Abstract

Application of electrolytic processes to remove and degrade emerging contaminants in sewage, surface water, groundwater, and drinking water. Activities include the evaluation of contaminant pre-concentration methods, the use of advanced electrodes (boron-doped diamond anodes and modified metal oxide electrodes), and the study of combined processes most suitable for each type of contamination.
