Advanced oxidation processes such as Fenton reagent generates highly reactive hydroxyl free radicals to oxidize various compounds in the water and wastewater. The efficiency of different Fenton-related oxidative processes such as Fenton, solar-Fenton, UV-Fenton and Fenton reactions in different batch reactors was examined using benzene as pollutant in aqueous solutions. A batch study was conduc...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on oxidants have attracted attention for the degradation of organic pollutants. The combination chalcopyrite with such as persulfate, peroxide, percarbonate, and others shows promise a system due to its ability activate through various pathways, leading formation numerous radical non-radical species. In this review, generation sulfate (SR) hydroxyl (HR)...

Biological treatment, due to the formation of hazardous chemicals remove organic compounds such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC), has limited potential. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are regarded a viable alternative for treating molecules containing carbon-hydrogen bonds that cannot be broken down by traditional physico-chemical methods. In this investigatio...

The application of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to the treatment of an effluent contaminated with hydrocarbon oils was investigated. The AOPs conducted were Fe2+/H2O2 (Fenton's reagent), Fe2+/H2O2/UV (Photo-Fenton's reagent) and UV-photolysis. These technologies utilize the very strong oxidizing power of hydroxyl radicals to oxidize organic compounds to harmless end products such as CO2 ...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been postulated as viable, innovative, and efficient technologies for the removal of pollutants from water bodies. Among AOPs, photo-Fenton shown to be effective degradation various types organic compounds in industrial wastewater. Monometallic iron catalysts are limited practical applications due their low catalytic activity, poor stability, recyclabili...

Background & Aims of the Study: Phenolic compounds have been extensively used in industries for applications such as petrochemical, oil refineries, papers, plastics, steel, pharmaceuticals, textiles, coal conversion, and so on. Specified amounts of Phenolic compounds are lost in the process of their manufacturing and utilization and often cause environmental pollution problems....

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...
