Sequential helminth egg inactivation using a solar driven advanced oxidation process (AOP) followed by chlorine was achieved. The photo-assisted Fenton process was tested alone under different H(2)O(2) and/or Fe(II) concentrations to assess its ability to inactivate Ascaris suum eggs. The effect of free chlorine alone was also tested. The lowest egg inactivation results were found using Fe(II) ...

degradation of acrylic water base color from synthetic wastewater by the fenton process was performed. experiments were conducted on the sample containing 100 and 400 mg/l of acrylic water base color. the study was performed for searching optimum values of feso4 and h2o2 concentration, ph and temperature. the h2o2 requirement seems to be related to initial cod of the sample. feso4/ h2o2 ratios ...

Wastewater from chemical plants has remarkable antibiotic effects on the microorganisms in traditional biological treatment processes. An enhanced Fenton system catalyzed by natural pyrite was developed to degrade this kind of wastewater. Approximately 30% chemical oxygen demand (COD) was removed within 120 min when 50 mmol/L H₂O₂ and 10 g/L natural pyrite were used at initial pH from 1.8 to 7....

The electrochemical advanced oxidation method “Electro-Fenton” has been applied to remove 17β-estradiol (17β) estra-1,3,5(10)-triéne-3,17-diol) in aqueous-acetonitrile mixture. This endocrine disrupting is a steroid hormone, releases from humans, animals and residual pharmaceuticals into the environmental water and usually causes suspected undesirable effects in aquatic organisms. The degradati...

Solar assisted Photo Fenton was compared with advanced oxidation processes for their color and COD removal efficiency and cost effectiveness. H2O2 alone appeared to be inefficient to reduce color and COD content of any effluent. The performance of Fenton process was slightly better, color and COD removals were 45 % and 63% respectively. Photo Fenton treatment of blue effluent resulted into colo...
