Photochemical reactions with the participation of iron(iii) carboxylates are important for environmental photochemistry and have a great potential of application in water purification (advanced oxidation processes, photo-Fenton and Fenton-like processes). In spite of this, information about excited states and primary intermediates in the photochemistry of Fe(iii) complexes with carboxylic acids...

Iron and copper toxicity has been presumed to involve the formation of hydroxyl radical ( . OH) from H2O2 in the Fenton reaction. The aim of this study was to verify that Fe 2+ -O2 and Cu + -O2 chemistry is capable of generating . OH in the quasi physiological environment of Krebs-Henseleit buffer (KH), and to compare the ability of the Fe 2+ -O2 system and of the Fenton system (Fe 2+ + H2O2) t...

the performance of a plug flow electrocoagulation reactor for the treatment of cattle abattoir(slaughterhouse) wastewater was investigated. a cylindrical iron reactor was operated as a cathode at arecycling batch mode while three iron rods located at the center of the reactor were used as an anode. theeffects of different parameters, including the current density, the supporting electrolyte dos...

This paper explains the Fenton process – Advanced Oxidation Process for treatment of industrial waste water and effect of various parameters on Fenton process. AOPs are the process that generates the hydroxyl radical that oxidizes the impurity compounds and purifies the waste water. For generation of hydroxyl radical there are many methods are available. Fenton process is an advanced oxidation ...

Background & Aims of the Study: One of the most carcinogenic and toxic pollutants is p-Nitro Cresol. In this study, the degradation and mineralization of p-Nitro Cresol in aqueous solution were investigated by Fenton process in a batch reactor. Materials & Methods: This study is an experimental research on a laboratory scale. The study executed on synthetic wastewater hav...

The application of the photo-Fenton process for the treatment of wastewaters contaminated with diesel oil was investigated. This particular process has been widely studied for the photochemical degradation of highly toxic organic pollutants. Experiments were performed according to a factorial experimental design at two levels and two variables: H(2)O(2) concentration (5-200 mM) and Fe(2+) conce...
