A highly active heterogeneous Fenton catalyst was fabricated by impregnating iron oxide nanoparticles in alumina coated mesoporous SBA-15 silica.

abstract background: dyes are visible materials and are considered as one of the hazardous components that make up the industrial waste. dye compounds in natural water, even in very low concentrations, will lead to environmental problems. azo dyes are compounds with one or more –n=n– groups and are used in textile industry. because of its low price, solubility, and stability, azo dyes are widel...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been postulated as viable, innovative, and efficient technologies for the removal of pollutants from water bodies. Among AOPs, photo-Fenton shown to be effective degradation various types organic compounds in industrial wastewater. Monometallic iron catalysts are limited practical applications due their low catalytic activity, poor stability, recyclabili...

In recent year large amount of water and wastewater generated from various industries and produce organic matters and contaminated the water, this organic this organic compound in water poses serious problems to public health as well as environment. The advanced oxidation process (AOPs) is one of the advanced treatment method for wastewater remediation. In AOPs, ElectroFenton process (EFP) is o...

The electro-Fenton process (EF) has faced major challenges, including mass transfer limitations. When the targeted pollutants are present in water at very low concentrations, degradation kinetics slower than desired, which leads to high energy consumption. To overcome this drawback, coupled adsorption on activated carbon (AC) and EF can be performed. Therefore, compounds preconcentrated AC befo...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been reported as alternative ways for treating reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate which is the primary concern water reclamation plants. AOPs are known to oxidize recalcitrant organic compounds by a highly reactive and nonselective oxidant, hydroxyl radical (<sup>?</sup>OH). Researchers showed that such conventional Fenton, UV/H<sub>2<...

Using ESR spin-trapping techniques with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO), we confirmed the 1:1 stoichiometry for the formation of hydroxyl radicals with Fe2+ in the Fenton reaction under experimental conditions wherein [H2O2] is 90 microM and [Fe2+] is very low, 1 microM or less. The stoichiometry decreased markedly as the Fe2+ concentration was increased. The efficiency of hydroxyl radi...
