Small volumes (100 mL) of acidic aqueous solutions with 30-200 mg L TOC of the toxic azo dye Acid Red 1 (AR1) have been comparatively treated by various electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs). The electrolytic system consisted of a BDD anode able to produce OH and an air-diffusion cathode that generated H2O2, which subsequently reacted with added Fe to yield additional OH from Fen...

This paper evaluates the degradation of two azo reactive dyes, C.I. Reactive Yellow 84 (RY84) and C.I. Reactive Red 120 (RR120) by photo-Fenton and Fenton-like oxidation. All experiments were performed on a laboratory scale set-up. The effects of different reaction parameters such as initial pH, contact time, effect of light and hydrogen peroxide concentrations on the oxidation of the dye aqueo...

The applicability of Fenton and photo-Fenton processes as a pretreatment stage to combined wastewater was investigated. The wastewater was obtained from the inlet of the aeration tank in 42 Evler industrial and domestic wastewater treatment plant. The effects of different process variables such as initial Fe2 (c0 8 33 mmol L –1) and H2O2 (c0 65 165 mmol L –1) concentrations, pH (3 7.75) and rea...

The global concern about alternative water reuse techniques are increasing continuously as heavy industries such as petrochemicals and agricultures grows bigger each year. Those organic pollutants present in wastewaters which are not treatable by conventional treatment methods, are considered to be treated by stronger and more modern techniques. The presence of these organic compounds in water ...

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)...
