Abstract A kinetic model describing Fenton and photo-Fenton degradation of paracetamol (PCT) consumption hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) was proposed. set experiments (18 runs in total) performed by fixing the initial concentration PCT to 40 mg L −1 varying concentrations H ferrous ion, Fe 2+ . The experimental set-up a well-stirred annular photoreactor equipped with an actinic BL TL-DK 36 W/10 1SL lamp. Experimental results highlighted that is no more detected HPLC analysis within minimum...
Livestock slurry has been reported to be a potential secondary raw material as it contains macronutrients ‑nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium-, which could valorised high-quality fertilizers if proper separation concentration of valuable compounds is performed. In this work, pig liquid fraction was assessed for nutrient recovery valorisation fertilizer. Some indicators were used evaluate the performance proposed train technologies within framework circular economy. As ammonium potassium...
This article presents experimental results on 47 μmol L−1 sulfathiazole (STZ) degradation by Fenton and photo-Fenton reactions using multivariate analysis. The optimal conditions for were obtained Response Surface Methodology (RSM). In the case of there 192 ferrous ions (Fe(II)) 1856 hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), as compared with 157 1219 (H2O2) reactions. Under these conditions, around 90% STZ achieved after 8 minutes treatment reactions, respectively. Moreover, a marked difference was observed...
The supply of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) controlling the amount highly oxidant hydroxyl radicals is most critical operational issue for photo-Fenton process. Accordingly, this study addresses development a model processes including flexible H2O2 given as function time. aimed at its future exploitation in treatment optimization and determination optimal profile supply. work has adopted photo Fenton previously reported that includes inlet flow (fed-batch) describes system dynamics under dosage....
Caffeine degradation performance via photo-Fenton treatment was investigated under different dosage conditions. Experiments were planned according to a design of experiments characterize hydrogen peroxide protocols. Fenton reagent loads first determined after preliminary study. The addition fixed load controlled by an initial fraction and the span continuous flow producing total load. carried out using 12 L solution samples commercial coffee (300 mg L–1, approximately 17 L–1 caffeine)....
Fenton, photo-Fenton, and photo-induced oxidation, were investigated compared for the treatment of 0.26 mmol L−1 paracetamol (PCT) in a deionised water matrix, during reaction span 120.0 min. Low high Fenton reagent loads studied. Particularly, initial concentration Fe2+ was varied between 0.09 0.18 while H2O2 2.78 11.12 L−1. The quantitative performance these treatments evaluated by: (i) measuring PCT concentration; (ii) modelling TOC conversion, as means characterizing sample...
Photocatalytic water treatment is an appealing concept to mineralize organic contaminants in contaminated water. In this study, the UV-resistant drug paracetamol (PCT) aqueous solution degraded by using a solar irradiated loop-reactor equipped with TiO2 (P25) photocatalyst. The catalyst powder was dispersed geopolymer surface coating applied aluminum-U-profiles connected filament-printed polymer elements. Different assays variations initial PCT concentration were performed under natural...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Sulfamethazine (SMT) has received little attention in the water treatment literature. Yet, SMT is among non‐biodegradable substances increasingly found aqueous media and affecting both public health wastewater treatments. For a long time, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) were studied via pure empirical modeling, although surface response models resulting from lumped information (TOC, COD, etc.) present limitations regarding extrapolation optimization. Conversely,...
Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing offers a new paradigm for designing and developing chemical reactors, in particular, prototypes. The use of printers has been increasing, their performance improving, price reducing. While the general trend is clear, particular applications need to be assessed practicality. This study develops follows systematic approach prototyping Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) reactors. Specifically, this work evaluates discusses different printable materials...
