Wastewaters from textile industry contain various pollutants including a high content of organic matter, surfactants, additives and dyes. Dyes have obtained notoriety as hazardous substances, because most of them are toxic and considered to be resistant to biodegradation. Recently, advanced oxidation processes (AOP) have received considerable attention because it is possible to degrade organic ...

This study investigated the degradation of organic pollutants using an advanced electrochemical oxidation technique in a batch reactor cell consisting graphite anode, modified by electrodeposition PbO2, and graphene-modified carbon fiber cathode. The experiment was designed Taguchi design approach with orthogonal array L18 to optimize Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) electro-Fenton process. Four pr...

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...

BACKGROUND Electrochemical methods, as one of the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), have recently been applied to remove different contaminants from water and wastewater. This study compares the performance of anodic oxidation (AO) and electro-Fenton (EF) methods on waste sludge treatment. METHODS This experimental study was performed on real sludge and the effect of operating parameters s...
