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 ...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com the reaction called the Fenton method [1]. 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...

The heterogeneous photo-Fenton degradation of coomasie brilliant blue R–250 under visible light has been investigated using copper modified iron oxide, which has been prepared by coprecipitation method and characterized by IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The rate of photocatalytic degradation of dye follows pseudo-first order kinetics. The effects of various...

Assessment the efficiency of Fenton process (Fe 2+ /H2O2), versus photo-Fenton reaction (TiO2/Fe 2+ /H2O2/UV) for removal of Chloropyrifos, and COD from pesticide wastewater were investigated. Solar compound parabolic collectors (CPC) pilot scale with borosilicate tubes was used for photo-Fenton process. The effect of reaction time, initial pH and dosage of H2O2, FeSO4, TiO2 were studied for bo...

A novel electro-Fenton (E-Fenton) process was developed, in which the desired pH for an effective E-Fenton reaction and for a neutral treated media could be obtained by utilizing the reaction-released H+ and OH- in stead of chemical addition. In the laboratory-scale process using three chambers, the substrate solution pH > 4.0 was designed to be adjusted in situ through three sequencing steps: ...

Membrane distillation is a promising technology to desalinate hypersaline produced waters. However, the organic content can foul and wet membrane, while some fractions may pass into distillate impair its quality. In this study, applicability of traditional Fenton process was investigated preliminarily optimized as pre-treatment synthetic water for following step membrane distillation. The also ...

Background & Aims of the Study: Pharmaceuticals are considered as an emerging environmental problem due to their continuous discharge and persistence to the aquatic ecosystem even at low concentrations. The purpose of this research was the investigation of advanced oxidation processes (Fenton and Fenton-like) efficiency for the removal of nonbeta lactam Antibiotics of azithromycin and clari...

We describe a modification to the collapsing method, a technique that aims to find the simplest structures in a cloud of microearthquakes by utilizing the statistical uncertainties in the data. In the modified collapsing method, the movements of the locations are dependent on the shape of the distribution of the locations within the confidence ellipsoid, and not just the position of the center ...

This study makes a comparison between Fenton, Fenton-like, photo-Fenton and photo-Fenton-like treatment methods to investigate the removal of two acid dyes. The two selected acid dyes are C.I. Acid Orange 8 (AO8) and C.I. Acid Red 17 (AR17). These were chosen as model organic contaminants. The effect of operating parameters, such as amount of Fenton’s reagent (H2O2 and Fe) and Fenton’s-like rea...
