Fenton treatment (Fe(2+)/H(2)O(2)) and different ozone-based Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) (O(3), O(3)/OH(-) and O(3)/H(2)O(2)) were evaluated as pre-treatment of a mature landfill leachate, in order to improve the biodegradability of its recalcitrant organic matter for subsequent biological treatment. With a two-fold diluted leachate, at optimised experimental conditions (initial pH 3, H...

The sulphate radical based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are highly in demand these days, owing to their numerous advantages. Herein, the Fe-Mn bimetallic oxide particle was used activate peroxymonosulphate (PMS) for Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation. Three catalysts were synthesized via chemical precipitation method with different concentrations of metals; (1:1), (1:2) and (2:1). best perfor...

Plastic products are used in almost all aspects of our daily life. Due to their low cost, portability, durability, and resistance degradation, these affecting the health environment biota on a global scale. Thus, removal mineralization microplastics is an important challenge 21st century. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have recently been identified as viable treatment technique for tacklin...

In the present study, photocatalytic removal of p-nitrophenol has been carried out in the presence of ZnO by using a batch reactor with a UV-C lamp (15 W). The effects of applied ZnO concentration and UV light intensity have been studied. The increase of initial pollutant concentration decreases the removal rate, and the results indicate that the apparent reaction rate constant in the UV/Zn...

Five full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in China using typical biodegradation processes (SBR, oxidation ditch, A2/O) were selected to assess the removal of four popular artificial sweeteners (ASs). All four ASs (acesulfame (ACE), sucralose (SUC), cyclamate (CYC) and saccharin (SAC)) were detected, ranging from 0.43 to 27.34μg/L in the influent. Higher concentrations of ASs were meas...

Biological treatment, due to the formation of hazardous chemicals remove organic compounds such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC), has limited potential. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are regarded a viable alternative for treating molecules containing carbon-hydrogen bonds that cannot be broken down by traditional physico-chemical methods. In this investigatio...

introduction: antibiotics as a  type of pharmaceutical compounds are widely used in modern medicine and veterinary industries. they enter the environment in different ways, including agricultural runoff, direct discharge of urban wastewater treatment or human waste, direct disposal of medical, veterinary industrial waste and etc. antibiotics have been able to influence the microbial population....

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...

Abstract Phenol has been introduced as a priority pollutant by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are one of most efficient methods for removal non-degradable organic pollutants in aqueous solutions. The efficiencies phenol and COD under optimal conditions pH = 3, concentration 5 mg/L, CaO 2 0.025 temperature 25 °C, 1 g/min ozonation rate contact time 90...
