Removal of 4-chlorophenol in wastewater by a combination of electrochemical oxidation and anaerobic wastewater treatment KU Leuven
The objective of this research project is the intensification of anaerobic wastewater treatment by the use of electrochemical oxidation. By the use of this electrochemical technique as a pretreatment step or in recycle of an anaerobic reactor, inhibitory components such as monohalogenated aromatics can be electrochemically oxidized in order to assure better biodegradability. As a model compound, 4-chlorophenol is used for the evaluation of ...
