Abstract This work reports the successful synthesis and application of α-Cu-FeOOH in heterogeneous Fenton treatment actual textile dyeing wastewater. The material characteristics were analyzed by SEM, EDX, BET, FTIR, XRD methods. In tests, highest TOC color removal efficiencies found to be 46.88 37.98%, respectively, suitable conditions Cu/Fe molar ratio = 5%, [H 2 O ] 0.1 M, [α-Cu-FeOOH] 0.6 g...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the chemical degradation of the organophosphorus pesticide of parathion and carbamate insecticide of methomyl in the aqueous phase through Fenton process. With the employment of batch Fenton process, the degradation of the two selected pesticides at different pH, initial concentration, humic acid concentration, and Fenton reagent dosages was explored....

The photo-Fenton reaction is a promising method to treat organic contaminants in water. In this paper, a Fenton reagent enhanced by microwave electrodeless ultraviolet (MWEUV/Fenton) method was proposed for advanced treatment of nonbiodegradable organic substance in pesticide-containing biotreated wastewater. MWEUV lamp was found to be more effective for chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal tha...

An approach to decontamination of biological endospores is discussed. Specifically, the performance of an aqueous modified Fenton reagent is examined. A modified Fenton reagent formulation of cupric chloride, ascorbic acid, and sodium chloride is shown to be an effective sporicide under aerobic conditions. The traditional Fenton reaction involves the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to hydroxyl ...
