Oxidative Degradation of Organosulfur Compounds Using a Photo-Fenton Reaction

Efficiency of Photo-Fenton Process in Degradation of 2-Chlorophenol

Background & Aims of the Study: Phenolic compounds have been extensively used in industries for applications such as petrochemical, oil refineries, papers, plastics, steel, pharmaceuticals, textiles, coal conversion, and so on. Specified amounts of Phenolic compounds are lost in the process of their manufacturing and utilization and often cause environmental pollution problems....

Degradation of crystal violet using copper modified iron oxide as heterogeneous photo-fenton reagent

The heterogeneous photo-Fenton degradation of crystal violet under visible light has been investigated usingcopper modified iron oxide. The photocatalyst has been prepared by coprecipitation method. The rate ofphotocatalyic degradation of dye was monitored spectrophotometrically. It has been observed thatphotocatalytic degradation follows pseudo first order kinetics. The effect of various param...

Photo-Catalytic Degradation of an Oil-Water Emulsion Using the Photo-Fenton

Fundamental Mechanistic Studies of the Photo-Fenton Reaction for the Degradation of Organic Pollutants

Very few regions of the planet possess abundant fresh water and access to adequate fresh water resources can be expected to worsen as a result of population growth and industrial demands for water. Liquid effluents containing toxic substances are generated by a variety of chemistry-related industrial processes, as well as by a number of common household or agricultural applications. The inadequ...

Insight into the Mechanism of Graphene Oxide Degradation via the Photo-Fenton Reaction

Graphene represents an attractive two-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterial that holds great promise for applications such as electronics, batteries, sensors, and composite materials. Recent work has demonstrated that carbon-based nanomaterials are degradable/biodegradable, but little work has been expended to identify products formed during the degradation process. As these products may have t...
