Fenton Process for Removing Organic Pollutants from industrial Wastewater

The fenton process is one of the most studied advanced oxidation processes, due to its efficiency, low reaction time and easy application. In the present study, fenton process is used to remove the organic pollutants from industrial wastewater. The process parameters like pH and reaction time were studied using 1:10 ratio of FeSO4 and H2O2 with a 500ml working volume of sample. The most favourable circumstances were determined at a pH level of 7 with a reaction duration of 3 Hours. Finally, chemical oxygen demands (COD) and chlorides, before and after fenton process were measured to ensure the entire destruction of organics during their removal from industrial wastewater. The experimental results shown that the fenton process effectively achieved removal efficiency of 80%.
