Key notes

References

Hospital urine; Klebsiella (blaKPC), Pseudomonas (blaOXA-50), Staph (mecA)

50 A/m², MMO anode, w/wo UV

84.9

UV combined with EO boosts ARG reduction and speed of disinfection.

24

Hospital wastewater; six bacteria w/ NDM-1, mcr-1, tetX

3 V; varied time

90

Up to 90% ARG removal reported.

64

Penicillin G in synthetic urine

MMO-Ti/RuO₂ IrO₂, EC, 1.6 Ah/dm³

55% TOC, 76% COD

Synergistic photo-electrolysis higher; MMO alone < 90% TOC removal

65

Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica, Acinetobacter calcoacetius, Serratia marcescens, Listeria sp., Enterococcus faecalis in simulated wastewater

MMO anodes, 7.14 mA/cm2 at 9 min

96

Effective disinfection at low current density within less time and at a lower cost, 0.18$/m3.
