Electro-catalytic microfiltration membranes electrochemically degrade azo dyes in solution

Azo dyes and Chlorinated Organic Compounds (COCs) like trichloroethylene (TCE) are environmental contaminants found in textile industry effluents and groundwater sites respectively. Both compounds are carcinogenic to humans and hazardous to the environments they contaminate and are difficult to treat by conventional wastewater processes. In this study, electrocatalytically active nanocomposite membranes were fabricated and evaluated for their …
