What is it about?

Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process used to obtain bio-oil from biomasses, generating a liquid waste rich in organic compounds, which can be submitted to biological and electrochemical treatments in order to minimize its environmental impact. Thus, the electrochemical oxidation may be used as treatment to decompose partially or completely organic pollutants (wastewater) from industrial processes

Why is it important?

Combined electrochemical oxidation and biological treatments may be used to decompose partially or completely organic pollutants (wastewater) from industrial processes.

Perspectives

Electro-oxidation step for organic compound degradation to enhance its biodegradability by biological treatment as the second step.
