Aromatic hydrocarbons present in Iraqi national surface water were believed to be raised principally from combustion of various petroleum products, industrial processes and transport output their precipitation on water.Polycyclic aromatic (PAHs) included the priority pollutant list due toxic carcinogenic nature. The concern about contamination consequent human exposure have encouraged developme...

Electrochemically induced Fenton (electro-Fenton) reaction was used for efficient and controllable preparation of hydroxyl radicals, leading to the generation of luminescent quantum dots through etching of as-exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets. Morphologic changes of MoS2 nanosheets during the electro-Fenton reaction were monitored using transmission electron microscopy, showing that etching of MoS2 na...

Electro-Fenton reactions can be very effective for organic pollutant degradation, but they typically require non-sustainable electrical power to produce hydrogen peroxide. Two-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have been proposed for pollutant treatment using Fenton-based reactions, but these types of MFCs have low power densities and require expensive membranes. Here, more efficient dual reac...

Accelerated bleaching, photobleaching and mineralization of the non-biodegradable azo-dye, Orange II, was observed with oxone in solutions with Co2+-ions. The bleaching rate of Orange II in the dark was found to follow a first-order kinetics with respect to [Co2+] with a rate constant of 20 M−1 s−1. Fitting of the Orange II photobleaching experimental points in the presence of the Co2+/oxone re...

Degradation products formed during removal of an aqueous nonylphenol ethoxylate compound (NP-10) by the H2O2/UV-C, Fenton (Fe/H2O2) and photo-Fenton (Fe/H2O2/UV) advanced oxidation processes and their relationship with the acute toxicity toward Vibrio fischeri photobacteria were investigated. Polyethylene glycols with 3-8 ethoxy units, aldehydes and carboxylic acids were identified as the prima...

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a chelating agent that has been used for decontamination purposes in nuclear industry. The presence of EDTA in decontamination wastes can cause complexation of the cations resulting into interferences in their removal by various treatment processes such as chemical precipitation, ion exchange etc. Further, it might also impart elevated leachability of c...

Sickle erythrocyte (RBC) membranes were previously shown to manifest increased Fenton activity (iron-dependent, peroxide-driven formation of hydroxyl radical [.OH]) compared with normal RBC membranes, but the nature of the catalytic iron was not defined. We now find that sickle membranes exposed to superoxide (.O2-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) have three distinct iron compartments able to act ...

This study presents a machine learning (ML)/artificial intelligence (AI)-based perspective to reliably predict and enhance the treatment efficiency of landfill leachate by classical-Fenton (c-Fenton) photo-Fenton (p-Fenton) processes. experiment also sought lower costs evaluating impact using different numbers UV-c (254 nm) lamps during p-Fenton processes, as well develop sustainable process de...
