Effects of wastewater applied with discrete irrigation techniques on strawberry plants’ productivity and the safety, quality characteristics and antioxidant capacity of fruits
(2016)
•Wastewater was applied with drips and sprinklers for strawberry irrigation.•Irrigation treatments did not significantly impact fruits’ marketability and taste.•Heavy metals in strawberry fruits were below the MPLs for ...
Drugs degrading photocatalytically: Kinetics and mechanisms of ofloxacin and atenolol removal on titania suspensions
(2010)
The conversion of the antibiotic ofloxacin and the ß-blocker atenolol by means of TiO2 photocatalysis was investigated. Irradiation was provided by a UVA lamp at 3.37×10-6einstein/s photon flux, while emphasis was given ...
Light-induced catalytic transformation of ofloxacin by solar Fenton in various water matrices at a pilot plant: Mineralization and characterization of major intermediate products
(2013)
This work investigated the application of a solar driven advanced oxidation process (solar Fenton), for the degradation of the antibiotic ofloxacin (OFX) in various environmental matrices at a pilot-scale. All experiments ...
Photocatalytic degradation of 17α-ethynylestradiol in environmental samples by ZnO under simulated solar radiation
(2012)
BACKGROUND: Recently, the fate of emerging micro-contaminants in environmentally relevant samples has attracted considerable attention. Semiconductor photocatalysis may offer an appealing methodology to treat such contaminants
Sequential coagulation–flocculation, solvent extraction and photo-Fenton oxidation for the valorization and treatment of olive mill effluent
(2013)
An innovative process battery comprising coagulation–flocculation, extraction of phenolic compounds and photo-Fenton post-oxidation has been developed for the valorization and treatment of olive mill effluents (OMEs). ...
