This study aimed at comparing various advanced oxidation processes (H2O2, UV, UV/H2O2, Fe /H2O2, UV/Fe /H2O2) for textile dye Reactive Red 195 decolorization. The use of blast furnace dust (BFD) was also investigated as an alternative source of iron in catalytic peroxidation with and without UV radiation. The effects of H2O2 and dye concentrations in kinetics of decolorization were studied. Dec...

This research was focused on the investigation of the efficacy of advanced oxidation processes (Fenton, ozonation and UV/H2O2) for decolorization of reactive azo dye (Blue CL-BR) using bleach wastewater as possible source of H202. All the experiments were performed on the laboratory scale set-up. The results showed that colour removal efficiencies by UV or bleach (H2O2) alone were not so effici...

Pyrite ash (PA) is created by burning pyrite in the chemical production of sulphuric acid. The high concentration of iron oxide, mostly hematite, present in pyrite ash, gives the basis for its application as a source of catalytic iron in a modified Fenton process for anthraquinone dye reactive blue 4 (RB4) degradation. The effect of various operating variables such as catalyst and oxidant conce...

The treatment of distillery effluent was investigated experimentally by various advanced oxidation processes such as Fenton and ozone with different combination of UV and H2O2 system. The effect of operating parameters such as hydrogen peroxide concentration, initial effluent pH and Fe concentration on Fenton system for the percentage color and chemical oxygen demand removal has been studied. T...

The use of AOPs (Advanced Oxidation Processes) for the treatment of industrial wastewaters has increased during the last years. The process efficiency depends on the treatment conditions (temperature, pH, reagent dosage etc.) and it is very difficult to predict it because the reaction mechanisms are strongly affected by the mutual relationship among these parameters and the wastewater compositi...

Drugs that kill tuberculosis more quickly could shorten chemotherapy significantly. In Escherichia coli, a common mechanism of cell death by bactericidal antibiotics involves the generation of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals via the Fenton reaction. Here we show that vitamin C, a compound known to drive the Fenton reaction, sterilizes cultures of drug-susceptible and drug-resistant Mycobacter...

Abstract Innovations in water technology are needed to solve challenges of climate change, resource shortages, emerging contaminants, urbanization, sustainable development and demographic changes. In particular, conventional techniques wastewater treatment limited by the presence poorly biodegradable organic matter. Alternatively, recent Fenton, Fenton-like hybrid processes appear successful fo...

A novel modified Fenton process using heterogeneous catalyst (swarf) was developed to catalyze the oxidation reaction of azo dye Acid Red 18. It was found that swarf could be used to replace iron salts as a catalyst for the Fenton reaction. The examined continuous Fenton process proved to be very efficient for decolorization of simulated wastewater containing 100 mg/dm3 Acid Red 18. Performance...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com the reaction called the Fenton method [1]. Early research on the Fenton reaction was mainly focused on organic synthesis, enzymatic reactions and the cell damage mechanism [2]. It was noted that in the presence of a catalyst, H2O2 can be efficiently decomposed to generate oxidative active substances with strong oxidizing power, and degrade a variety...

MoS2 has garnered considerable attention as an exceptional co-catalyst that is capable of significantly enhancing the efficiency H2O2 decomposition in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). This improvement allows for a reduction required amounts and Fe2+. In this study, we investigated cyclic durability photo-Fenton catalysts, focusing on degradation pollutants through introduction PPy into hete...
