The removal of four pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), namely diethyltoluamide (DEET), paracetamol (PAR), caffeine (CAF) triclosan (TCS) (at a spiked concentration 25 μg/L), from natural water using the photo (UVC)-Fenton (powdered zero-valent iron, pZVI) process was investigated. results show that molar ratio H2O2/pZVI 2.0, pZVI 22.4 mg/L pH 3.0 maximised target compounds at 7...

The objective of this study is to evaluate the turbidity generated during Fenton photo-reaction applied oxidation waters containing carbamazepine as a function factors such pH, H2O2 concentration and catalyst dosage. results let establish degradation pathways main decomposition byproducts. It found that pH affects water. Working between = 2.0 2.5, under 1 NTU due fact iron, added catalyst, in f...

Munitions wastes such as TNT are widespread contaminants in soils and ground waters. We investigated a coupled abiotic-biotic treatment scheme for remediation of aqueous solutions of TNT. Mineralization of aqueous TNT (0.22 mM) was initially optimized with minimum reactant use (Fe3+ and H2O2) in light-assisted and dark, modified Fenton reactions at acidic and neutral pH. Complete TNT degradatio...

This study aiming to determine the optimal conditions degrade an organophosphate pesticide diazinon (DZN) at low levels concentrations (μg.mL−1) and identify by-products generated. The degradation processes utilized were Fenton photo-Fenton. iron concentration [Fe2+], hydrogen peroxide [H2O2], solution pH are investigated parameters. Doehlert three-parameter experimental design was applied mode...

Predictions of isobaric and Regge models are compared with the latest experimental data (Bonn, JLab) to select among the models those providing a satisfactory description of the data. Only the Saclay-Lyon (SLA) and MAID models are in a reasonable agreement with both photo-and electro-production data ranging up to about E lab γ = 2.5 GeV. In this energy region the Regge model is suitable only fo...

The heterogeneous photo-Fenton degradation of crystal violet under visible light has been investigated usingcopper modified iron oxide. The photocatalyst has been prepared by coprecipitation method. The rate ofphotocatalyic degradation of dye was monitored spectrophotometrically. It has been observed thatphotocatalytic degradation follows pseudo first order kinetics. The effect of various param...

Phenolic acids constitute a major group of pollutants which are recalcitrant to common biological treatment. In this study synthetic wastewater containing a mixture of p-coumaric and p-hydroxybenzoic acids was evaluated for photo-Fenton pretreatment. The changes in biodegradability (ratio of biochemical oxygen demand to total organic carbon (TOC)) and mineralization (TOC removal) were monitored...
