    The EEG has showed that contains relevant information about recognition of emotional states. It is important to analyze the EEG signals to understand the emotional states not only from a time series approach but also determining the importance of the generating process of these signals, the location of electrodes and the relationship between the EEG signals. From the EEG signals of each emotional state, a functional connectivity measurement was used to construct adjacency matrices: lagged phase synchronization (LPS), averaging adjacency matrices we built a prototype network for each emotion. Based on these networks, we extracted a set node features seeking to understand their behavior and the relationship between them. We found through the strength and degree, the group of representative electrodes for each emotional state, finding differences from intensity of measurement and the spatial location of these electrodes. In addition, analyzing the cluster coefficient, degree, and strength, we find differences between the networks from the spatial patterns associated with the electrodes with the highest coefficient. This analysis can also gain evidence from the connectivity elements shared between emotional states, allowing to cluster emotions and concluding about the relationship of emotions from EEG perspective. © 2020 IEEE.

    Optimización de los Costos de Operación del Proceso de Electro-oxidación para una Planta de Tratamiento de Aguas Mediante Análisis Estadístico de Superficie de Respuesta
    (Centro de Informacion Tecnologica, 2016-01-01) GilPavas, E.; Medina, J.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Gómez, M.-A.; GilPavas, E.; Medina, J.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Gómez, M.-A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Procesos Ambientales (GIPAB)
    The statistical optimization of the implementation and operational costs of an electrochemical-oxidation process for treatment of wastewater containing dye Yellow 23 was done. The aim was to optimize the operational parameters for the current density, conductivity, and area of electrodes per unit of volume in order to minimize the net present value (NPV) of the operation while maintaining a defined quality for the treated wastewater. To achieve this, the response surface methodology coupled to the Box-Behnken statistical design was used. The optimal conditions found were: a relationship of treated wastewater volume per area of electrodes of 9.076 mL/cm2, conductivity 4000 µS/cm, and current density 20 mA/cm2. At optimal conditions, the NPV for a 10 year operation is 998636 USD, which corresponds to a cost of 0.68USD/m3 of treated water.

    Optimization and toxicity assessment of a combined electrocoagulation, H2O2/Fe2+/UV and activated carbon adsorption for textile wastewater treatment
    (Elsevier, 2019-02-15) GilPavas, E; Dobrosz-Gomez, I; Gomez-Garcia, MA; GilPavas, E; Dobrosz-Gomez, I; Gomez-Garcia, MA; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Procesos Ambientales (GIPAB)
    In this study, the potential application of sequential Electrocoagulation + Fenton (F) or Photo-Fenton (PF) + Active carbon adsorption (EC + F/PF + AC) processes were analyzed as alternatives for the treatment of an industrial textile wastewater resulting from an industrial facility located in Medellín (Colombia). In order to maximize the organic matter degradation, each step of the treatment was optimized using the Response Surface Methodology. At first, the optimal performance of EC was achieved with Fe electrodes operating at pH = 7, jEC = 10 mA/cm2 and 60 rpm, during 10 min of electrolysis. At these conditions, EC let to remove 94% of the dye's color, 56% of the COD and 54% of the TOC. Next, sequentially applied Fenton or photo-Fenton process (i.e., EC + F/PF), operating at the optimized conditions (pH = 4.3, [Fe2+] = 1.1 mM, [H2O2] = 9.7 mM, stirring velocity = 100 rpm and reaction time = 60 min.), improved the quality of the treated effluent. The EC + F let to achieve total color reduction, as well as COD and TOC removals of 72 and 75%, respectively. The EC + PF reached 100% of color, 76% of COD and 78% of TOC reductions. The EC + F/PF processes were more efficient than EC in elimination of low molecular weight (<5 kDa) compounds from wastewater. Moreover, the BOD5/COD ratio increased from 0.21 to 0.42 and from 0.21 to 0.46 using EC + F and EC + PF processes, respectively. However, EC + F/PF were not fully effective for the removal of acute toxicity to Artemia salina: 20% and 60% of reduction in toxicity using EC + F and EC + PF, respectively, comparing to very toxic (100%) raw textile wastewater. Thus, activated carbon adsorption was applied as an additional step to complete the treatment. After AC adsorption, the acute toxicity decreased to 10% and 0% using EC + F and EC + PF, respectively. The total operational costs, including chemical reagents, electrodes, energy consumption and sludge disposal, were of 1.65 USD/m3 and 2.3 USD/m3 for EC + F and EC + PF, respectively. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

    The removal of the trivalent chromium from the leather tannery wastewater: the optimisation of the electro-coagulation process parameters.
    (IWA PUBLISHING, 2011-02-01) GilPavas, E.; Dobrosz-Gomez, I.; Gomez-Garcia, M. A.; GilPavas, E.; Dobrosz-Gomez, I.; Gomez-Garcia, M. A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Procesos Ambientales (GIPAB)
    The capacity of the electro-coagulation (EC) process for the treatment of the wastewater containing Cr3+, resulting from a leather tannery industry placed in Medellin (Colombia), was evaluated. In order to assess the effect of some parameters, such as: the electrode type (Al and/or Fe), the distance between electrodes, the current density, the stirring velocity, and the initial Cr3+ concentration on its efficiency of removal (%RCr+3), a multifactorial experimental design was used. The %RCr3+ was defined as the response variable for the statistical analysis. In order to optimise the operational values for the chosen parameters, the response surface method (RSM) was applied. Additionally, the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5), the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and the Total Organic Carbon (TOC) were monitored during the EC process. The electrodes made of aluminium appeared to be the most effective in the chromium removal from the wastewater under study. At pH equal to 4.52 and at 28 degrees C, the optimal conditions of Cr3+ removal using the EC process were found, as follows: the initial Cr3+ concentration=3,596 mg/L, the electrode gap=0.5 cm, the stirring velocity=382.3 rpm, and the current density=57.87 mA/cm2. At those conditions, it was possible to reach 99.76% of Cr3+ removal, and 64% and 61% of mineralisation (TOC) and COD removal, respectively. A kinetic analysis was performed in order to verify the response capacity of the EC process at optimised parameter values.
