ABSTRACT

This study examines the effectiveness of two electrochemical processes: electro-Fenton and electrocoagulation, in the degradation of pharmaceutical contaminants nystatin and atenolol. Batch-mode experiments were conducted using iron and aluminum electrodes for the electrocoagulation process to assess their performance. The findings revealed that electrocoagulation (EC) was highly efficient for nystatin degradation, achieving a removal rate of approximately 99% under optimal conditions: neutral pH and an initial concentration of 2.69 × 10–5 mol/L with aluminum electrodes. Conversely, the EC process proved ineffective for Atenolol degradation, showing low removal efficiency with both iron and aluminum electrodes. To address this limitation, the electro-Fenton process was implemented, resulting in a maximum degradation rate of 90% under optimal conditions: an initial pH of 3, a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration of 8 mM, a current intensity of 0.25 A, and an initial solution concentration of 1.87 × 10–5 mol/L (5 mg/L).

Keywords: Electrocoagulation; Electro-Fenton; Nystatin; Atenolol

Exploring the dynamics of hydrogen enrichment in diesel engines

Hassina Ghodbane, Fouad Khaldi, Bahloul Derradji

https://doi.org/10.5004/iic202402

Abstract The present study investigates the use of hydrogen as a fuel in diesel engines operating under low-load conditions. Due to hydrogen’s higher auto-ignition temperature compared to diesel fuel, it cannot be directly utilized in a diesel engine. As an alternative, hydrogen can be used for enrichment or induction. In this study, a single-cylinder...
