This work was aimed at studying the applicability of H2O2-based oxidation processes (namely H2O2/UV, photo-Fenton, and Fenton) for the treatment of six real aqueous wastes. These wastes derived from chemical, pharmaceutical, and detergent production, and were characterised by high COD (chemical oxygen demand) and, in four cases, surfactant concentrations: overall, about 100 tests were conducted...

The practical application of the Fenton-based treatment method for organic compounds-contaminated water purification is limited mainly because of the large amount of ferric sludge formed during the treatment, where ferrous iron (Fe(II)) is used as the activator of the hydrogen peroxide oxidation processes. Reuse of ferric sludge collected from clarifiers to substitute Fe(II) salts allows reduci...

This work evaluates the efficiency of different advanced oxidation processes (Fenton method, O3, H2O2 and O3/H2O2) for removing total COD (TCOD) and colour from biologically pre-treated swine manure. The Fenton process with a dosage of 100 mg L(-1) of Fe(2+) and 800 mg L(-1) of H2O2 resulted in about 78% TCOD and 96% colour reductions at an initial pH=3 after a reaction time of 30 min. Coagulat...

Oxidation of 2,6-dimethylaniline by electro-Fenton process in acidic solution at pH 2 was investigated. The effects of pH, Fe(2+), H(2)O(2) and current density were assessed to determine the optimum operating parameters. The oxidation efficiency of 2,6-dimethylaniline was determined by the reduction of 2,6-dimethylaniline, COD and TOC in the solutions. Results reveal that 1 mM of 2,6-dimethylan...

A new, simple assay has been optimized to generate and detect hydroxyl radical by Fenton reaction. The assay is based on oxidation of catechol, monitored at 360 nm following incubation at room temperature for ca. 30 minutes, with linearity over 0.25 through 2.5 μmole H2O2 using Fe (II) (0.5 μmole) and acidified catechol (0.5 mg). The Fenton reaction has been characterized by registering: (i) ab...

The oxidation of leachate coming from the composting of two organic wastes (wastewater sludge and organic fraction of municipal solid wastes) using the Fenton's reagent was studied using different ratios [Fe(2+)]/[COD](0) and maintaining a ratio [H(2)O(2)]/[COD](0) equal to 1. The optimal conditions for Fenton reaction were found at a ratio [Fe(2+)]/[COD](0) equal to 0.1. Both leachates were si...

The present paper investigates the potential of Galvano-Fenton process as an advanced technique in terms simultaneous oxidation a model pollutant, phenol, and energy release saving compared to conventional electrochemical techniques, namely, Fenton, Fenton-like, Electro-Fenton. A numerical describing electrochemical, electrolytic, phenol’s mineralization reactions is presented. Simulations are ...

degradation of acrylic water base color from synthetic wastewater by the fenton process was performed. experiments were conducted on the sample containing 100 and 400 mg/l of acrylic water base color. the study was performed for searching optimum values of feso4 and h2o2 concentration, ph and temperature. the h2o2 requirement seems to be related to initial cod of the sample. feso4/ h2o2 ratios ...

this study investigates the degradation of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (sdbs) in aqueous solution by the fenton-like oxidation process. the effects of different parameters such as concentrations of ferric chloride and hydrogen peroxide, ph and reaction time on the sdbs removal and chemical oxygen demand (cod) reduction were evaluated. response surface methodology (rsm) with central composite...
