Multi-win situation of wastewater purification, carbon emission reduction and resource utilization: conversion of refractory organics and nitrate to urea and ammonia in a flow-through electrochemical integrated system

The advanced oxidation process is an efficient technology for the degradation and detoxification of refractory organics to ensure water safety. However, most researches focus on improving pollutant degradation but overlook carbon emission and resource utilization. In this study, a flow-through electrochemical integrated system was constructed to simultaneously realize bisphenol A (BPA) oxidation into small non-toxic organics and CO
