Treatment of reverse osmosis concentrate from sanitary landfill leachate by com...
Chamen, O; Fernandes, A; Pereira, C; Coelho, S; Sousa, Ana Catarina; Pastorinho, M. Ramiro; Pacheco, M.J.; Ciríaco, L; Zairi, M; Lopes, AMunicipal solid wastes are increasing worldwide and the most common method to dispose solid residues is landfilling. However, in landfills, there is the formation of a highly contaminated leachate that cannot be discharged directly into the environment due to its high toxicity. Some leachate treatment plants are adopting membrane technologies, but a leachate concentrate that requires posterior treatment is obta...
Understanding the efficiency of electrochemical oxidation in toxicity removal
Nunes, M.J.; Sousa, Ana Catarina; Fernandes, A; Pastorinho, M. Ramiro; Pacheco, M.J.; Ciríaco, L.; Lopes, A.Today’s modern society produces a large amount of wastewaters rich in toxic compounds that, if not properly treated, will have deleterious environmental impact. Considering that conventional treatment methods have limitations in the complete removal of some of the most recalcitrant compounds, the need for more efficient treatments becomes imperative. Over the past decades, electrochemical oxidation as proved to...
Electrochemical degradation of emerging contaminants: Ecotoxicological evaluation
Fernandes, A.; Pereira, C.; Coelho, S.; Sousa, Ana Catarina; Pastorinho, M. Ramiro; Pacheco, M.J.; Ciríaco, L.; Lopes, A.The presence of emerging contaminants has been disclosed in literature concerning sanitary landfill leachate (SLL) characteristics and toxicity [1,2]. Among the emerging contaminants identified, bisphenol A, an endocrine disruptor, and methiocarb, a pesticide, stand-out due to the relatively high concentrations detected in SLL [3,4]. In this study, the electrochemical degradation of bisphenol A and methiocarb, ...
