      A continuous compact membrane bioreactor consisted of ceramic-supported graphene oxide membrane (CSGoM) was implemented for the first time for anaerobic biodecolorization of monoazo Acid Orange 7 (AO7), diazo Reactive Black ...
    • Comparative anaerobic decolorization of AZO dyes by carbon-based membrane bioreactor 

      Amin, Mohammad Shaiful Alam; Stüber, Frank Erich; Giralt Marcé, Jaume; Fortuny Sanromá, Agustín; Fabregat Llangostera, Azael; Font Capafons, Josep (2021-04-02)
      Article
      Open Access
      This study used a novel integrated technology of ceramic supported carbon membrane(CSCM) to degrade azo dyes through an anaerobic mixed culture. The CSCM worked simultaneouslyas biofilm support, redox mediator, and nano-filter ...
    • Degradación de contaminantes provenientes de la industria textil mediante partículas metálicas de aleaciones Al-Ca 

      Martinez Alvarez, Gabriel (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-07-06)
      Bachelor thesis
      Open Access
      Azo dyes are synthetic organic compounds that are difficult to degrade and also dangerous because of their carcinogenic and mutagenic potential. The use of metallic particles for degrading azo dyes is a big opportunity ...
    • In situ decolorization monitoring of textile dyes for an optimized UV-LED/TiO2 reactor 

      Tapia Tlatelpa, Tecilli; Trull Silvestre, José Francisco; Romeral Martínez, José Luis (2019-08-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Heterogeneous photocatalysis, using photocatalysts in suspension to eliminate diverse contaminants, including textile wastewater, has several advantages. Nevertheless, current absorbance and decolorization measurements ...

      López Grimau, Víctor; Pepió Viñals, Montserrat; Gutiérrez Bouzán, María Carmen; Buscio Olivera, Valentina (Desalination publications, 2018-12-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      In this work, the indirect oxidation of two azo dyes (Colour Index Reactive Orange 4 and 13) was performed in an electrochemical batch cell in the presence of chloride as an electrolyte. The effect of different operational ...
    • Optoelectronic optimization of photocatalytic processes for wastewater treatment 

      Tapia Tlatelpa, Tecilli (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-10-03)
      Doctoral thesis
      Open Access
      Water pollution is an alarming problem that endangers the health of all living beings. The textile industry is listed as one of the most contaminating industries, since in order to carry out its dyeing and finishing ...
    • Photoassisted electrochemical treatment of azo and phtalocyanine reactive dyes in the presence of surfactants 

      Sala, Mireia; López Grimau, Víctor; Gutiérrez Bouzán, María Carmen (2016-03-18)
      Article
      Open Access
      An electrochemical treatment (EC) was applied at different intensities to degrade the chromophoric groups of dyes C.I. Reactive Black 5 (RB5) and C.I. Reactive Blue 7 (Rb7) until uncolored species were obtained. Decolorization ...
    • Texture-modified activated carbons as catalysts in biodecolourisation of azo dyes
