The presence of humic substances as a component natural organic matter (NOM) may cause inefficiency towards drinking water treatment processes, especially the membrane fouling during filtration process. Therefore, to enhance efficiency conventional process, several copper doped Fe-N-C bimetallic heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts (Cux@FeNC) were prepared and evaluated by executing their cataly...

In the present work, photo-Fenton-like process based on use of Fe2.5Co0.3Zn0.2O4/CuCr-LDH composite was applied for removal green algal cells. First, biological activity proved with antibacterial tests against S. aureus; thereafter, it used Scenedesmus quadricauda cells under process. Interestingly, compared individual processes, displayed a synergistic effect in deactivation The various parame...

Presence of antibiotics in the environment may cause potential risk for aquatic environment and organisms. In this research, Fenton oxidation process was offered as an effective method for removal of antibiotic sulfamethoxazole from aqueous solutions. The experiments were performed on laboratory-scale study under complete mixing at 25±2°C. The effects of initial antibiotic concentration, molar ...

The application of the photo-Fenton process for the treatment of wastewaters contaminated with diesel oil was investigated. This particular process has been widely studied for the photochemical degradation of highly toxic organic pollutants. Experiments were performed according to a factorial experimental design at two levels and two variables: H(2)O(2) concentration (5-200 mM) and Fe(2+) conce...

In this study, we attempt for the first time to couple sonication and photo-Fenton for bacterial inactivation of secondary treated effluent. Synthetic wastewater was subjected to sequential high-frequency/low power sonication, followed by mild photo-Fenton treatment, under a solar simulator. It was followed by the assessment of the contribution of each component of the process (Fenton, US, hv) ...

BACKGROUND In recent years, pollution of soil and groundwater caused by fuel leakage from old underground storage tanks, oil extraction process, refineries, fuel distribution terminals, improper disposal and also spills during transferring has been reported. Diesel fuel has created many problems for water resources. The main objectives of this research were focused on assessing the feasibility ...

BiFeO₃ particles (BFO) were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method and characterized. BFO was pure, with a wide particle size distribution, and was visible light responsive. Tetracycline was chosen as the model pollutant in this study. The pH value was an important factor influencing the degradation efficiency. The total organic carbon (TOC) measurement was emphasized as a potential standard ...
