Oxidation of pollutants in waste water by photo-Fenton reaction has proven an ecofriendly and economical method. Oxidation of amido black – 10B, (an acid dye of azo series) using photoFenton reagent was investigated under ambient conditions. The effect of different parameters like the concentration of ferric ion, amido black10B and hydrogen peroxide, pH, light intensity etc. on the reaction rat...

The aim of this study was to find optimum dose of ferrous sulphate and hydrogen peroxide in Fenton oxidation process for treatment of dyeing wastewater. Fenton process is the advanced oxidation method used mainly for COD and colour removal. Experiments are done on synthetic wastewater prepared from three different dyes; acidic, disperse and reactive; and also effluent obtained from industry. Th...

The main challenge in the oxygen delignification process is the improvement of selectivity. To further understand the effect of the amount of hydroxyl radicals on the selectivity of oxygen delignification, in this work, the hydroxyl radicals were generated by the improved Fenton reaction system and were quantified by UV spectrophotometry. Antioxidants such as ascorbic acid were applied for the ...

The degradation and mineralization of the drug norfloxacin (NFX) has been assessed in a model solution, containing 15 mM NaCl +45 Na2SO4 at pH 3.0, using flow plant with an FM01-LC filter-press reactor equipped Ti|Ir-Sn-Ru oxides anode to electrogenerate HClO from Cl− oxidation stainless-steel cathode. Unexpectedly, anodic active chlorine (AO-HClO) outperformed electro-Fenton (EF-HClO), photoel...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on oxidants have attracted attention for the degradation of organic pollutants. The combination chalcopyrite with such as persulfate, peroxide, percarbonate, and others shows promise a system due to its ability activate through various pathways, leading formation numerous radical non-radical species. In this review, generation sulfate (SR) hydroxyl (HR)...

There is something intriguing and at the same time fascinating that a simple reaction (of Fe ions with H2O2), which was observed by H.J.H. Fenton over 110 years ago, proves to be very difficult to describe and understand. As yet the nature of the oxidizing species obtained in Fenton reaction is still a subject of deliberation, which may be explained by the fact that it is very common in both ch...
