Treatment of textile wastewater is challenging because the water contains toxic compounds that have low biodegradability. Dyes, detergents, surfactants, biocides and more are used to improve the textile process and to make the clothes resistant to physical, chemical and biological agents. New technologies have been developed in the last decades and in particular Advanced Oxidation Processes (AO...

This work focuses, for the first time, on mechanistic modelling of wastewater disinfection by solar photo-Fenton process using controlled simulated radiation. At circumneutral pH, iron precipitates forming hydroxides and significantly affecting optical properties water. In this regard, radiation transfer in reactor has been taken into account. The proposed model considers that inactivation bact...

An experimental study on 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) degradation in aqueous solutions by advanced oxidation process photo-Fenton type is presented. The efficiency of the oxidation process is determined by the very high oxidative potential of the OH. radicals generated by catalytic and photo-catalytic processes. The presence of the inorganic species inside the reaction medium influences the rate of th...
