Title Influence of oxalic acid formed on the degradation of phenol by Fenton reagent

Influence of oxalic acid formed on the degradation of phenol by Fenton reagent.

The objective of this work is to examine the influence of oxalic acid formed on the degradation of phenol by Fenton reagent. Oxalic acid formed at initial stage within 30 min significantly suppresses the reduction of ferric ion, thus terminating degradation reaction. The yield of oxalic acid is dependent on the amount of ferrous ion dosed since the minimal amount of oxalic acid is formed after ...

Solution combustion synthesis of Co oxide-based catalysts for phenol degradation in aqueous solution.

Solution combustion using urea as a fuel was employed to synthesise Co oxide and Al(2)O(3)-, SiO(2)- and TiO(2)-supported Co oxide catalysts. The catalysts were characterised using several techniques such as N(2) adsorption/desorption, XRD, FTIR, UV-vis diffuse reflectance and SEM-EDX, and their catalytic activity was evaluated in phenol degradation in aqueous solution with sulphate radicals. S...

Solar Photocatalytic Degradation of Phenol in Aqueous Solutions Using Titanium Dioxide

In this study, photocatalytic degradation of phenol by titanium dioxide (TiO2) in aqueous solution was evaluated. The UV energy of solar light was utilized by compound parabolic collectors (CPCs) technology. The effect of irradiation time, initial pH, and dosage of TiO2 were investigated. Aromatic intermediates (catechol, benzoquinone, and hydroquinone) were quantified during the reaction to st...

Use of Fenton Reagent as Advanced Oxidative Process for Removal of Basic and Acid Red Dyes from Aqueous Solutions

In this study, the Fenton process was used to investigate the color removal efficiency of Acid Red 52 and Basic Red 18 dye solutions by direct chemical oxidation. Color and chemical oxygen demand (COD) was successfully removed more than 99% and up to 92% respectively. This article would provide an easy assessment of the viability of using Fenton reagent in acidic conditions, so it is a prom...
