Elimination of contaminants of emerging concern and their environmental risk in world-real municipal wastewaters by electrochemical advanced oxidation processes

Simultaneous hydrodynamic cavitation and glow plasma discharge for the degradation of metronidazole in drinking water

“…Several technologies have been applied for the degradation of MNZ in wastewater, such as bioelectrochemical processes [12] , biological degradation [13] , [14] , dielectric barrier discharge [15] , electrochemical degradation [16] , [17] , Fenton oxidation [18] , [19] , [20] , photocatalysis [21] , [22] , [23] , ozonation [24] , [25] , and sonochemical methods [26] , [27] , [28] . Most of the conventional biological processes for antibiotics degradation present limitations due to the high concentrations and toxicity of the compounds or their subproducts [29] , [30] .…”
