4. Applications
The advantages of electrochemical treatments, including the absence of chemical products and secondary waste, and their operation at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, make them ideal for water treatment, both for organic load reduction and disinfection.
4.1 Organic load reduction
Since the advent of electrodes that generate hydroxyl radicals, such as BDD electrodes, the range of applications for electro-oxidation has expanded, and performance in terms of organic load removal has improved.
Due to high investment costs, electro-oxidation is more suited to the treatment of non-biodegradable organic matter in high concentrations, such as phenolic compounds, molecules found in a wide range of industrial effluents (table...
