Abstract
Electro-Fenton process has gained considerable interest for its application in water treatment for the removal of recalcitrant organic pollutants. This review is based on an overview of the electro-Fenton process applied for water treatment. The process mechanisms and fundamentals of the operation are explained. The applications of the process in water treatment have been reviewed. The major advantages of the process are that it uses electricity and does not generate secondary wastes. This review also covers the electro-Fenton based hybrid technologies developed hitherto, including some of the novel approaches in the field.
Keywords: Electro- Fenton, Water treatment, Chemical oxidation, Electrokinetics, Organic pollutants, pesticides, herbicides, flocculation, osmosis, coagulation.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
