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 ...

The treatment of an effluent from the production of trifluraline was studied using a 1-L, semi-batch, tank-stirred glass reactor for performing three different advanced oxidation processes (photoperoxidation, Fenton, photo-Fenton). A commercial, medium-pressure mercury lamp was used for sample irradiation. The degradation was monitored by measurements of absorptiometric color reduction, UV-visi...

This study investigated the reduction of the chemical oxygen demand from the Kermanshah oil refinery wastewater using Fenton and Photo-Fenton processes. The study investigated the effects of operating variables such as ultraviolet light intensity in values of 0, 15, and 30 W, ferrous ion concentration in values of 10, 50, and 90 mg/l, hydrogen peroxide concentration in values of 100, 500 and, 9...

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...

Photochemical reactions with the participation of iron(iii) carboxylates are important for environmental photochemistry and have a great potential of application in water purification (advanced oxidation processes, photo-Fenton and Fenton-like processes). In spite of this, information about excited states and primary intermediates in the photochemistry of Fe(iii) complexes with carboxylic acids...

BiFeO₃ particles (BFO) were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method and characterized. BFO was pure, with a wide particle size distribution, and was visible light responsive. Tetracycline was chosen as the model pollutant in this study. The pH value was an important factor influencing the degradation efficiency. The total organic carbon (TOC) measurement was emphasized as a potential standard ...

Many types of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), namely Fenton (Fe 2+ /H2O2) with different doses, Fenton-like (UV/Fe 2+ /H2O2), photo-Fenton (Fe 2+ /H2O2/TiO2), and plasma technology have been investigated for the removal of organic matters (COD content) from landfill leachate. Fenton's oxidation was the most effective as the most effective ratio 1/10 (Fe 2+ /H2O2) which allow the COD remova...
