Affiliations
  • St. Xavier's College, Mumbai, India
 

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have emerged as a promising technology for the treatment of wastewaters containing toxic, recalcitrant organic compounds such as dyes, pesticides etc. This review paper focuses on the Fenton and photo- Fenton technique which is one of the most efficient AOPs developed to decolorize and/or degrade organic pollutants. This oxidation method can produce biodegradable intermediates and mineralize complex organic pollutants effectively and efficiently. In this paper Fenton and photo-Fenton methods are categorised into two broad groups as homogeneous and heterogeneous Fenton and photo-Fenton processes. Applications of fundamental and advanced combined Fenton and photo-Fenton processes are also discussed.

Abstract


Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have emerged as a promising technology for the treatment of wastewaters containing toxic, recalcitrant organic compounds such as dyes, pesticides etc. This review paper focuses on the Fenton and photo- Fenton technique which is one of the most efficient AOPs developed to decolorize and/or degrade organic pollutants. This oxidation method can produce biodegradable intermediates and mineralize complex organic pollutants effectively and efficiently. In this paper Fenton and photo-Fenton methods are categorised into two broad groups as homogeneous and heterogeneous Fenton and photo-Fenton processes. Applications of fundamental and advanced combined Fenton and photo-Fenton processes are also discussed.
