Background and Objective: Discharge of industrial wastewater containing Catechol has adverse effects on human and environmental health. Purpose of this study was to determine the effects of catechol toxicity before and after advanced oxidation process (ozonation process) by bioassay test with Daphnia Magna. Materials and Methods:  This study is an applied research in which the toxicity of cate...

Background and Objectives: Water and wastewater resources contamination, caused by the wastewater discharged from industries, is considered a major threat to human and environment health. Catechol is one of the usual phenolic compounds in wastewater of various industries such as oil and petrochemicals, plastics, resins, and etc, which is highly toxic and resistant to degradation. Therefore, the...

Background and Objective: The activities of various industries produce a wide range of pollutants and toxic compounds. One of these compounds is the catechol, a cyclic organic compound with high toxicity and resistant to degradation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate efficiency of powder activated carbon magnetized with Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the removal of catechol from a...

Background & Aims: Catechol, a phenolic compound, is carcinogenic and toxic and enters the environment through industrial waste. The main objective of this paper was to evaluate the performance of the ozone in the removal of catechol from water. Materials & Methods: Catechol concentration was determined using a high-pressure gas chromatography (HPLC). Concentration of ozone and chemical oxyg...

Background and purpose: Catechol is a ring form organic compound with high toxicity that is used in petrochemical, pharmaceutical and manufacturing of pesticide. It has adverse effects on human and environmental health if discharged into the environment. The purpose of this study was removal of catechol using catalytic ozonation using core-shell magnetic nanoparticles of iron oxide doped with s...

in this study, the electrochemical mechanism of catechol in presence and absence of nitrite ion, is investigated in phosphate buffer medium (ph=7) using platinum electrode through cyclic voltammetry method in various scan rates. electrochemical oxidation of catechol showed how quinone has changed to o-benzoquinone and also how o-benzoquinone has reacted with nitrite ion and potential scan rate ...
