Fenton Reaction–Unique but Still Mysterious

This study is devoted to the Fenton reaction, which, despite hundreds of reports in a number scientific journals, provides opportunities for further investigation its use as method advanced oxidation organic macro- and micropollutants diverse variations hybrid systems. It transpires that, example, choice concentrations ratios basic chemical substances, i.e., hydrogen peroxide catalysts based on Fe2+ ion or other transition metals homogeneous heterogeneous arrangements reactions with various pollutants, now result experimental determination rather randomly selected quantities, requiring optimizations. The research date also shows indispensability reaction related environmental issues, it represents pillar all processes, regarding idea oxidative hydroxide radicals. tries summarize not only current knowledge process identify advantages, but problems that need be solved. Based these findings, we identified necessary steps affecting development resolved should focus process.
