In this study, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) from a pharmaceutical wastewater (PhW) was reduced by several techniques such as electro-Fenton (EF), photo electro-Fenton (PEF) and activated sludge (AS) processes and the obtained data were compared with each other. The effects of several parameters such as pH, current density, H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio, volume ratio of ...

Pollutants such as pharmaceutical products and pesticides are still present in treated water. Several of these compounds photoactive. The photodegradation eight organic pollutants was studied using listed advanced oxidation processes: UV/H2O2, UV/persulfate, Fenton, photo-Fenton UV/TiO2. results show that is most effective the first 10 min treatments simulated urban wastewater collected from lo...

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...

Diazinon pesticide and its metabolites have been identified in aquatic systems worldwide. It was related to toxicity for aquatic organisms, animals, and humans. Waters contaminated with such persistent insecticides should be treated with suitable treatment processes. In this research, Diazinon removal from aqueous solutions by the photo–Fenton–like process (UV/H2O2/Fe...

The treatment of hospital wastewater is very complex, so treating polluted human urine a significant challenge. Here, we tested novel MMO-Ti/RuO2IrO2 electrode to reduce the ecotoxicity risk urines contaminated with antibiotics. This was used as anode in electro-Fenton (EF) and photoelectro-Fenton (PhEF) processes. results were compared those obtained using boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode, well...
