The photo-Fenton reaction is a promising method to treat organic contaminants in water. In this paper, a Fenton reagent enhanced by microwave electrodeless ultraviolet (MWEUV/Fenton) method was proposed for advanced treatment of nonbiodegradable organic substance in pesticide-containing biotreated wastewater. MWEUV lamp was found to be more effective for chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal tha...

background textile dyes are the largest organic compounds associated with some problems for the environment. advanced oxidation process is the most effective method for dye removal from wastewater. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of the photo fenton process for decolorization of direct red 81 (dr 81) dye, and to determine the optimal process conditions. method...

The degradation of chlorpyrifos in water by Fenton (H2O2/Fe 2+) and solar photo-Fenton (H2O2/Fe 2+/solar light) processes was investigated. A laboratory-scale reactor was designed to evaluate and select the optimal oxidation condition. The degradation rate is strongly dependent on pH, temperature, H2O2 dosing rate, and initial concentrations of the insecticide and Fe 2+. The kinetics of organic...

Nano-dispersed Fe and Fe3O4 on reduced graphene oxide (Fe /Fe3O4-RGO) was prepared and characterized. The prepared Fe/Fe3O4-RGO was used as a magnetically separable Fenton-like catalyst and showed superior catalytic activity compared to Fe3O4-RGO and Fe3O4 as well as other Fenton-like catalysts for the removal of phenol. The Fe/Fe3O4-RGO achieved 100% removal efficiency for phenol within 30 min...

pentachlorophenol (pcp) is a very hazardous compound which enters into the environment byindustries such as refineries and petrochemicals. as its biological degradation is very slow, this usemay cause the pollution of soils and groundwater; with the recent emergence of pentachlorophenolcontamination as an important drinking water quality issue, finding an easy, economical, and usefulmethod to r...

The summarized new advances and proposed research directions in this perspective can provide in-depth insights for the application/mechanism investigation of DAC-mediated Fenton/Fenton-like reactions.

In this work, the degradation of 2-chloro-4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine in aqueous solutions by photo-Fenton process has been investigated. The preliminary results have shown that the degradation of 2-chloro-4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine by photo-Fenton process is more rapid and more effective than Fenton and UV/H2O2 processes. The effects of certain experimental parameters on kinetics and efficiency...
