Textile wastewater treatment by UV/Fenton-like oxidation process using Fe-Cu doped pumice composite

In this study, Fe-Cu-Pumice (Fe-Cu-P) composite was prepared to attempt it for UV/Fenton-like treatment of biologically treated textile wastewater by means COD and color removal. SEM-EDX analysis showed that Fe-Cu-P contained Fe Cu at 3.5% each one. More than 95% (RES-436, RES-525, RES-620) removal could be achieved using 3 g/L in the Fenton-like process. The absorbances Abs-254 nm Abs-280 increased up 5 concentration. addition, highest COD, 250 mg/L H2O2 concentration pH 3. removals were obtained 63.7%, 66.3% 72.9%, while RES-436, RES-525 RES-620 observed as 92.9%, 96.7% 98.1%, respectively optimum doses catalyst (5 Fe-Cu-P), oxidant (250 H2O2) after h oxidation room temperature.
