The use of Fenton's reagent (Fe2+/H2O2) and Fenton-like reagents containing transition metals of Cu(II), Zn(II), Co(II), and Mn(II) for an alum sludge conditioning to improve its dewaterability was investigated. The results obtained were compared with those obtained from conditioning the same alum sludge using cationic and anionic polymers. Experimental results show that Fenton's reagent was th...

Bi25FeO40 microtetrahedra, microcubes and microspheres were successfully synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process and by adding different additive agents. The formation mechanism of Bi25FeO40 microcrystals was proposed; the additive agents had important influences on the morphology and facet exposure of the products. The catalytic activity of these materials was evaluated by the degradation...

Polyoxometalates (POMs) have shown great potential for applications in photocatalysis due to their unique structural features, tunable band gap, and environmental benignity. Herein, a Fe ion-incorporated Co4W6O21(OH)2·4H2O sphere network POM was successfully synthesized via simple hydrothermal process. A DFT calculation proved that the ion partially replaced cobalt atoms, forming FexCo4−xWOH, w...

Degradation of polyvinyl alcohol was studied a combination of chemical treatment with Fenton process and biological degradation in anaerobic environment. The experiment was based on different amounts of hydrogen peroxide and of Fe(II) added to water solution of PVA of concentration 200-500 mg.L. Fenton process was monitored by analyzing the total organic carbon (TOC) in the solution. Depending ...

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...

This paper evaluates the degradation of two azo reactive dyes, C.I. Reactive Yellow 84 (RY84) and C.I. Reactive Red 120 (RR120) by photo-Fenton and Fenton-like oxidation. All experiments were performed on a laboratory scale set-up. The effects of different reaction parameters such as initial pH, contact time, effect of light and hydrogen peroxide concentrations on the oxidation of the dye aqueo...

Bimetallic (Fe-Cu) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/FeCu catalysts at 0.2% wt. were developed by a co-precipitation method, modifying the Fe-Cu molar proportions (i.e., Fe40Cu60, Fe20Cu80 Fe10Cu90) tested for degradation of cytostatic drug, cyclophosphamide (CP) in aqueous solution using photo-Fenton process (UV-Vis). Physicochemical characterization was carried out complementary techniques (ga...
