Prospects for the Use of Electrooxidation and Electrocoagulation Techniques for Membrane Filtration of Irrigation Water

Sustainable Applications of Nanofibers in Agriculture and Water Treatment: A Review

“…Nanofibers can apply for plant protection (through applying pesticides for pest control), plant growth (through applying hormones and/or fertilizers), pollution and contamination controls, and irrigation systems (through water filtration), as reported in Table 3 by Meraz-Dávila et al [56], Raja et al [57], and [58]. The main applications of nanofibers in the agricultural field may include coating seeds [60][61][62], nanofibers-based filters for irrigation systems [65], nanofibers for plant protection [56] through encapsulation of fungicides [66,67], or detecting trace some pesticides in water [69], nano-silica grafted fiber [70], smart nanotextiles for sustainable agriculture [13], nanofibers for encapsulation of agrochemicals including fertilizer [75], and phytohormones [71,72]. Nanofibers can be used as a smart and sustained delivery of agricultural inputs through seed to improve germination and seedling growth in rice [59,76] and cowpea [60], groundnut [57], and sesame [62].…”

“…Several nanomaterials such as graphene oxide could be used for water purification because of its multi-functionality, such as an antibacterial agent, excellent adsorption property, and photocatalytic abilities [77]. Thus, nanofibers could be sustainably applied in many agricultural processes that lead to reduce the loss in used agrochemicals pesticides, hormones, and/or fertilizers [57,[61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74], and to increase the productivity of crops through innovative management of phytopathogens or nutrients [13].…”

“…The synthetic material-based composites should be replaced by natural ones in several manufacturing industries, such as the field of textiles, which flax was used in ancient Egypt nearly 7000 years ago [3]. The cellulose is the most important component of the lignocellulosic natural fibers, which many plants could order their content of cellulose (%) as follows straw of rice (41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57), leaf of date palm (46), leaf of abaca (56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63), bast of jute (61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69)(70)(71), leaf of banana , leaf of sisal (65), bast of hemp (68), bast of ramie (68.6-76.2), bast of flax (71), bast of kenaf (72), leaf of curaua (73.6), leaf of pineapple (81), bast of nettle (81)…”

Effect of a Permanganate-Bearing Reactive Oxidant on Flocs in Electrocoagulation: Transformations and Interfacial Interactions

“…The deteriorated water quality and the complex wastewater reuse process contribute to the high treatment and reclaiming costs in large-scale centralized water treatment systems. , Therefore, development of smart decentralized water treatment systems is expected to be the most viable option in urban, peri-urban, or rural water resource management. Thanks to the development of renewable energy sources and digital water technologies (e.g., real-time monitoring), the combination of autonomous electrocoagulation (EC) and modular membrane components outperforms in cost-effective and energy-efficient operation. − The integrated EC/ultrafiltration (ECUF) membrane system combines the advantages of both EC and UF processes, such as low environmental footprint, low maintenance, easy assembly, and so forth, which aid in enhancing the solid–liquid separation ability of the EC system and the antifouling ability of the filtration system. − Besides solving the application bottleneck of UF under high fouling tendency, this integrated process also resolves the application limitation of the EC process in electrode passivation by designing an isolated cathode. − Furthermore, the ECUF system can be more easily designed in a more compact and integrated manner, which results in even lower land requirements and enhancement in technical and economic performance. Therefore, the ECUF process has practical application potential in the rapidly growing field of decentralized water treatment in the future.…”

Potential of Recalcitrant Effluent to Generate Biogas by Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket and Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) -A Case Study

“…So, the central pollution control board (CPCB) listed distillery industries as a red category Industries . Several technologies such as coagulation, electrocoagulation, electrooxidation, electrootation, Membrane bioreactor, ozone, Fenton, advanced oxidation process (AOP), aerobic and anaerobic technology attempts were made to treat distillery spent wash cost-effectively (Goren and Kobya et al, 2020;Espinoza and Soto et al, 2020;Almaguer and Cruz et al 2021;Myburgh and Aziz et al, 2019;Pirsaheb and Moradi et al, 2020;Fito and Tefera et al, 2019;Mohtashami and Shang et al, 2019;El Nemr and Hassaan et al, 2018;. Anaerobic digestion offers potential energy recovery through the generation of biogas and is a relatively stable process for medium and high-strength aqueous organic e uents (Esmaeel and Seied et al, 2020).…”
