Fenton’s Oxidation of Personal Care Product (PCP) Wastewater: A Kinetic Study and the Effects of System Parameters

Personal care products (PCPs) are considered an emerging class of pollutants, and PCP wastewater is classified as hazardous because it contains organic compounds, which linked to high chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations. dangerous when discharged into rivers without treatment, entails oxidizing complex compounds simpler using advanced oxidation technology (AOT). Fenton’s reagent composed Fe2+ H2O2 can oxidize thus reducing COD This study aims determine the effectiveness AOT method by calculating removal in wastewater; analyze effect Fe2+/H2O2 ratio, concentration, system pH; develop a kinetics model reduction; cost treatment. The parameters used pH. results this show that highest level was 88.59% at ratio 9% w/w, concentration six times pH value 3. reaction followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, rate constant 0.021 min?1.
