<p>In the current study, three different photo-assisted sources were used to evaluate photo-Fenton oxidation process for pollutant degradation of mature landfill leachate. Solar, UV, and LED visible light photo adopted in this Fenton process. dosages (FeSO4 : H2O2) 1:30, 1.5:30, 2:30, 2.5:30g/L investigation, which was conducted under a variety pH settings (2 3.5) at experimental reaction...

nitrate is one of the pollutants of groundwater and the great amount of nitrate in drinking water can bring about some hygienic problems such as methemoglobinema phenomena in children. therefore, this research aims to study the efficiency of photo- fenton in removing nitrate and investigating the variables affecting it in aqueous solutions. this research was carried out in water and wastewater ...

There is increasing concern about chemical pollutants that have the ability to mimic hormones, the so-called endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs). One of the main reasons for concern is the possible effect of EDCs on human health. EDCs may be released into the environment in different ways, and one of the most significant sources is industrial wastewater. The main objective of this research wa...

in the last twenty years, due to a number of natural and anthropogenic reasons, many water sources have become poorer in quality with respect to micropollutants. an example of a micropollutant that needs to be removed is the chlorophenoxypropionic herbicide mecoprop (mcpp). mcpp is one of the nine pesticides used as an indicator to monitor pesticide concentrations in rivers because it is freque...

In this work, a flow photoreactor was designed and set up using low-cost recyclable parts to develop chemical treatments based on advanced oxidation processes (AOP) of highly colored textile wastewater. To evaluate sustainable system´s efficiency, we investigated compared the performance three types destructive methods (UV/H2O2, Fenton, photo-Fenton) decolorization aqueous solutions Reactive Bl...

A solar photo-Fenton process combined with a biological nitrification and denitrification system is proposed for the decontamination of a landfill leachate in a pilot plant using photocatalytic (4.16 m(2) of Compound Parabolic Collectors - CPCs) and biological systems (immobilized biomass reactor). The optimum iron concentration for the photo-Fenton reaction of the leachate is 60 mg Fe(2+) L(-1...

This study aimed to assess, optimize and model the efficiencies of Fenton, photo-Fenton ozonation/Fenton processes in formaldehyde elimination from water wastewater using response surface methodology (RSM) artificial neural network (ANN). A sensitivity analysis was used determine importance independent variables. The influences different variables, including H2O2 concentration, initial Fe dosag...

This work proposes an efficient combined treatment for the decontamination of a pesticide-containing wastewater resulting from phytopharmaceutical plastic containers washing, presenting a moderate organic load (COD=1662-1960 mg O₂ L⁻¹; DOC=513-696 mg C L⁻¹), with a high biodegradable organic carbon fraction (81%; BOD₅=1350-1600 mg O₂ L⁻¹) and a remaining recalcitrant organic carbon mainly due t...
