The application of synthetic colors in textile industries and their entry into the water and groundwater is an environmental problem because of being very toxic material. The synthetic colors which are used in textile dyeing (plyacrilic and polyester) are usually dispersing colorants. They derive the azo and anthraquinone chemicals. Electro-Fenton process is an efficient technique which can deg...

The mineralisation of remazol black B (RBB) was studied at concentrations ranging from 20-1000 mgL(-1). The work was aimed at investigating the Fenton-like peroxidation of RBB at a concentration typically obtained in Batik cottage industries. Other response parameters were degradation and colour removal efficiencies. The parameters that were measured included total organic carbon (TOC), chemica...

Petrochemical manufacturing wastewaters often contain a high concentration of biodegradable com-pounds that possess either toxicity or activity inhibition to the biological unit. In this paper, COD removal from Petrochemical wastewaters by electro-Fenton process was studied. The effect of operating conditions such as reaction time, current density, pH, H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio, and H2O2 of petroch...

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...

Abstract An electro-Fenton-like reaction process relying on peroxymonosulfate activation can stably degrade chloramphenicol (CAP) within 16 min, where the kinetic rate constant be as high 0.089 min −1 and energy consumption value low 25.1 kWh•m^ −3 . Evidence indicated that use of a Na 2 SO 4 solution electrolyte enhance CAP degradation due to rapid electron transfer properties. The generated e...

A model was developed to determine the influence of steel corrosion products on a-radiolytic corrosion of spent nuclear fuel inside a failed waste container. The model takes into account the a-radiolysis of water, the reaction of radiolytic H2O2 with UO2 both directly and via galvanic coupling with noble metal particles, the reaction with H2 via galvanic coupling, and the Fenton reaction. The d...

Near-UV photocatalytic disinfection was accomplished in aqueous titanium dioxide suspensions. A level of inactivation of phage MS2 of 90% increased to 99.9% after 2 muM ferrous sulfate was added. Hydroxyl radical oxidation, with Fenton reaction enhancement, is suspected to be primarily responsible for the viral degradation observed.

Background & Aims of the Study: One of the most carcinogenic and toxic pollutants is p-Nitro Cresol. In this study, the degradation and mineralization of p-Nitro Cresol in aqueous solution were investigated by Fenton process in a batch reactor. Materials & Methods: This study is an experimental research on a laboratory scale. The study executed on synthetic wastewater hav...

background: recently, there has been a great concern about the consumption of dyes because of their toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and persistence in the aquatic environment. reactive dyes are widely used in textile industry. advanced oxidation processes are one of the cost-effective methods for the removal of these dyes. the main aims of this study were determining the feasibility of...
