Advanced hybrid electro-oxidation & O3 technology for water reuse in the fruit and vegetable process industry

Alternative sanitising agents are required in the fruit and vegetable processing industry, capable of effectively disinfecting both the product and the washing water to increase its reuse, while not producing harmful by-products like chlorine-based agents. In the present work, electro-oxidation (EO)...
