The aims of the present work were to assess application a chemical process degrade mixture parabens and determine influence natural river water matrix on toxicity. Model effluents containing either single compound, namely methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, benzylparaben or p-hydroxybenzoic acid, mimic realistic conditions six compounds was used. Fenton applied reduce organic charge toxic properties model effluents. efficiency decontamination has been investigated using...
The use of the Fenton's process for depuration a post-biological treated milk whey wastewater was studied, aiming to achieve adequate operational conditions cost effective treatment generate suitable effluent be directly discharged into natural water courses. A design experiments implemented in order understand role independent parameters and their combinations over process. From our results hydrogen peroxide concentration ratio between [H2O2]:[Fe2+] as well interaction were statistically...
Abstract Fenton’s reaction is an advanced oxidation process where, classically, hydrogen peroxide the oxidizing agent and iron catalyst promotes formation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Among studies that evaluated different metals as Fenton-like catalysts, our group investigation has recently used cerium-based solids heterogeneous catalysts in slurry and, this work, sludge coming from industrial reactor for wastewater depuration a detergent production factory being appraised while treating...
New iron–copper based solids prepared by coprecipitation had their efficiency in the heterogeneous Fenton process investigated regarding organic charge removal and biodegradability enhancement. Different molar proportions between two metals were used to assess best one. Chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phenolic content (TPh), biochemical 5 days (BOD5) parameters for evaluation. Two solutions simulated olive mill wastewaters: one comprising six acids another containing extra acid. The of...
