There is increasing concern about chemical pollutants that have the ability to mimic hormones, the so-called endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs). One of the main reasons for concern is the possible effect of EDCs on human health. EDCs may be released into the environment in different ways, and one of the most significant sources is industrial wastewater. The main objective of this research wa...

The necessity and challenges associated with the new-type photocatalytic Fenton-like system was introduced, followed by discussion of innovation breakthrough self-cyclable photo-Fenton in this highlights. An inspiration towards new-generation decentralized sustainable environment treatment device is expected.

Graphene was prepared by reduction of graphite oxide (GO), which was obtained from oxidation of graphite powder by Hummers′ method. The graphite and graphene were detected preliminary by X-ray diffraction(XRD)、transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The graphene electrode was prapared by graphene and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The electro-catalytic char...

In this study, we attempt for the first time to couple sonication and photo-Fenton for bacterial inactivation of secondary treated effluent. Synthetic wastewater was subjected to sequential high-frequency/low power sonication, followed by mild photo-Fenton treatment, under a solar simulator. It was followed by the assessment of the contribution of each component of the process (Fenton, US, hv) ...

Currently, the textile industry is one of the most important economic sectors in many countries. Besides, it is known as a major consumer of water and consequently one of the largest groups of industries causing intense water pollution. Chemicals, including surfactants, dyes, resins, dispersants agents, inorganic salts, etc., play a variety of functions during the textile processing and are pre...

This study focused on the effect of salinity performance a pilot-scale nanofiltration (NF) for preconcentration microcontaminants (MCs) in combination with solar photo-Fenton or photo-Fenton-like treatment their elimination from NF permeate and concentrate streams. Photo-Fenton was carried out simulator at pH 3 natural using Ethylenediamine-N, N?-disuccinic acid (EDDS) as an iron complexing age...

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have been employed to degrade biorefractory organic matters. This study investigates the combination of classical Fenton reaction with electrochemical oxidation, the electro-Fenton process, for the treatment of semi aerobic landfill leachate, collected from Pulau Burung Landfill Site (PBLS), Penang, Malaysia. The investigation has been carried out in batch re...
