Aromatic free Fenton process for rapid removal of phenol from refinery wastewater in an oscillatory baffled reactor

The need for clean, safe, and unpolluted water has recently become an important issue. Industrial processes such as petrochemical, pharmaceutical, pulp, paper industries emit organic products in water, phenols, which are extremely toxic to aquatic life. severe operating conditions, high pressure temperature, of the conventional chemical oxidation phenols cost a lot limited extensive application process. present work depicts development highly efficient rapid process oscillating baffled reactor (OBR) allow continuous safe phenol removal under moderate conditions. Phenol conversion was studied function initial concentration (300–500 ppm), pH (3–5), residence time (1–5 min), at constant amplitude (A = 4 mm), frequency (f Hz) oscillation room temperature achieve up 94.6%. At 70 °C, 300 ppm starting concentration, 3, Hz frequency, mm amplitude, exceptional 99.858% achieved without additional extraction just 3 min by optimizing working parameters. This is significant improvement over comparable this it done that scales reliably, so performance can likely be replicated on large scale. Also, produced nil hazardous Fenton intermediate compounds.
