The rampant population growth coupled with the widespread use of new pharmaceutical technologies and the careless use of pesticides and industrial waste, stemming from a lack of environmental consciousness, has inflicted severe harm to the environment. In light of this situation, it is imperative to find ways to mitigate the damage that has already been done, and electrochemical technolog…

The aim of this research project is the development and application of new materials in electrochemical processes (and associated) for the degradation of compounds with endocrine interference activity (endocrine disruptors), evaluating the efficiency of these processes and the identification of by-products of degradation. In addition, the project provides the development of electrochemica…
This research project presents a new proposal for the development of electrocatalysts of binary metal oxides supported on amorphous carbon to H2O2 electrosynthesis by O2 reduction reaction. Within this scope, binary metal oxide catalysts are produced (Nb, Zr, Ta, Ru, Mo and Co) supported on carbon Printex 6L and evaluated using techniques of morphological and structural analysis (XRF, TE…
This project presents a new proposal for the development of catalysts nano / micro-structured to be incorporated into gas diffusion electrodes for the production of hydrogen peroxide in situ from the reduction reaction of O2. Within this scope, will be produced and evaluated metal oxide catalysts supported on carbon, using analytical techniques of structure (SEM / EDX, XRD, AFM and DSC / …

This project aims at the development, characterization and application of gas diffusion electrodes (GDE) modified with metals from the lanthanide group in the treatment of alkaline aqueous systems contaminated with benzotriazole. The system consists primarily of the production of hydrogen peroxide (via the oxygen reduction reaction through the two-electron process); and, then, the use of …
In recent years, advanced electrochemical oxidative processes (AEOP) based on the use of electrogenerated H2O2 have become a powerful tool for the treatment of contaminated water. However, the viability of AEOP-H2O2 depends on the development of efficient and low-cost catalyst materials to generate H2O2. The anode material also plays an important role, but its influence is still poorly st…
The pesticide chlorpyrifos is organophosphate used on a large scale in various crop types. This class of pesticide is considered toxic to living beings, and few studies have been developed using electrochemical methods for the degradation of this compound. Given the limitation of conventional treatment plants in remediating pesticide residues, advanced oxidative processes (AOPs), become a…

Stabilized sludge is the final waste of a production chain or from processes and is mostly thrown into landfills, without any type of viable reuse, and this project is therefore important for the environmental area, which can enable reuse of these wastes. In this point, the proposed project stands out, as it brings environmental appeal to the study where an application for such waste can …
Brazil has exponentially increased the number of pesticides released for use in Agriculture in recent years. Many of these pesticides are extremely dangerous for our ecosystem. This work aims to develop a viable alternative for the treatment of effluents contaminated with the organophosphate pesticide acephate, using Advanced Oxidative Electrochemical Processes (AOEP). The modification of…
Treatment of aqueous wates using heterogeneous Electro-Fenton and Photoelectro-Fenton (Heterogeneous-EF/FEF) has recently attracted attention due to its efficiency and potential capability of application in a wide range of pH and catalyst reusability. However, the main challenge of these processes is the synthesis of cathodic materials to be stable in strongly acid pH along with less comp…

The development of highly effective remediation processes for antibiotic-contaminated water bodies can be seen as a topic of worldwide relevance. In this context, the study and optimization of a hybrid heterogeneous photocatalysis/electro-peroxone process is a novel and promising strategy. The combination of these processes is based on their synergy for the enhanced production of hydroxyl…
Emerging contaminants are becoming a major problem in modern society, as these products cause a high environmental impact and conventional wastewater treatment plants does not remove these types of pollutants completely. One efficient way to treat contaminants is through an Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP). This process uses a powerful oxidant to break down pollutants. The hydroxyl radica…
The application of electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOP) in the treatment of gaseous pollutants has becoming a topic of increased interest. In this line, the use of more sustainable technologies for the treatment of toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by combination of an EAOP with absorption technique appears as a very promising strategy. Among EAOP, heterogeneous elect…
The contamination of water and sewage by endocrine interfering agents, such as antibiotics, has become a serious environmental problem. This is because, besides causing several problems to humans and animal biota, it can lead to increased microbial resistance in aquatic environments and, consequently, less efficiency of conventional treatments. Therefore, electrochemical technology stands…
Reactor systems can be used for both electrogeneration of perfosphate (anode) and electrogeneration of hydrogen peroxide (cathode), but these systems have been studied separately. The suggested approach would be to study both processes coupled to the same reactor, where the processes would take place simultaneously. Using a boron doped diamond electrode (anode) and a carbon based gaseous …
Considering: (i) the level of excellence of the work developed by Dr. Gamal El-Din's group at the University of Alberta, as well as his extensive experience in fundamental research on advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and (ii) the studies performed at GPEA/IQSC related to the original project on the removal of organic and biological contaminants by the photolysis of oxidants, this proje…
