Effect of the solution initial pH was investigated on the performance of photo-Fenton process using Fe-ZSM5 zeolite as a heterogeneous catalyst for degradation of azo dye Acid Red 14. All experiments were performed in a 1.0 L tubular closed circulation batch photo-reactor. The dye degradation quantum yield was maximal when the solution initial pH was about 5. An amount of about 0.3 mg L−1 of Fe ions leached out of the zeolite. However, monitoring Fe ion concentration during the experiments showed that the efficiency of the process is not due to the leached Fe ions. The effect of pH on decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide in different systems such as H2O2 alone, UV/H2O2, UV/Zeolite and UV/Zeolite/H2O2 was explored in detail to explain the results obtained.

The study combines the UV/TiO2and an ultrasonic procedure to degrade the azo dye wastewater of Acid Yellow 17 and investigates the effects of various factors including the quantities of TiO2and iron ions added on the efficiency of the removal of the azo dye wastewater of Acid Yellow 17. The experimental results reveal the a significant additive effects occurs through the combination of the two procedures under the 13 watts UV irradiations and 10 watts ultrasound. The analysis of the catalyst properties indicates that there are no evident changes of the appearance of the crystal and TiO2catalyst when UV/TiO2is combined with ultrasonic procedures. Since the formation of hydrogen peroxide (ND≦1 mg L-1) was not detected during the reactions, the additions of Fe (II) and Fe (III) are unable to induce the Fenton-like reaction effectively. Nevertheless, the additions of Fe ions significantly affect the degradation rate of the dye. Moreover, the effect of Fe (III) was found to be superior to that of Fe (II) under the same concentration.

The limited availability of fresh water is a global crisis. The growing consumption of fresh water due to anthropogenic activities has taken its toll on available water resources. Unfortunately, water bodies are still used as sinks for waste water from domestic and industrial sources. Azo dyes account for the majority of all dye stuffs, produced because they are extensively used in the textile, paper, food, leather, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Bacterial degradation of azo dyes under certain environmental conditions has gained momentum as a method of treatment, as these are inexpensive, eco-friendly, and can be applied to wide range of such complex dyes. The enzymatic approach has attracted much interest with regard to degradation of azo dyes from wastewater. The oxido-reductive enzymes are responsible for generating highly reactive free radicals that undergo complex series of spontaneous cleavage reactions, due to the susceptibility of enzymes to inactivation in the presence of the other chemicals. The oxidoreductive enzymes, such as lignin peroxidase, laccases, tyrosinase, azoreductase, riboflavin reductive, polyphenol oxidase, and aminopyrine n-demethylase, have been mainly utilized in the bacterial degradation of azo dye. Along with the reductive enzymes, some investigators have demonstrated the involvement in some other enzymes, such as Lignin peroxides and other enzymes. This chapter reviews the importance of enzymes in dye degradation.

AbstractA trickle bed electrochemical reactor was used to generate hydrogen peroxide in dilute electrolyte and then degrade an azo dye, i.e. reactive brilliant red X-3B in water by electro-Fenton process. The trickle bed reactor was composed of carbon black-polytetrafluoroethylene coated graphite chips. During the preparation of coated graphite chips, coating times and surfactant dosage were optimized to improve electro-generation of H

Abstract The heterogeneous electro-Fenton process degradation of Yellow 2G from wastewater was studied using a batch reactor. The COD of the wastewater used in treatment experiments was 163 mg O2·L−1 and the BOD5 was 17 mg O2·L−1 (hardly biodegradable). The treatment of the wastewater at different current densities (2.5 mA·cm−2–12.5 mA·cm−2), solution pH (3 and 6.6), reaction times (5–25 min), electrolyte nature (NaCl, Na2SO4) and electrolyte concentrations (0.15 g·L−1–1 g·L−1) was investigated. According to the results, the heterogeneous electro-Fenton process was suitable for the decolorization of wastewater containing Yellow 2G. The optimum conditions were current density of 12.5 mA·cm−2, initial pH of the wastewater neutral, 25 min of electrolysis treatment using an additive steel electrode as a source of catalysis and in the presence of 1 g NaCl·L−1. We obtained easily biodegradable water with a mineralization rate equal to 85% and non-toxicity confirmed by the pea grain germination test.

The present study provides results describing the degradation performance of ciprofloxacin antibiotic via Fenton treatment. The effect of reaction conditions including the initial pH value, and dosages of ferrous ions and hydrogen peroxide on ciprofloxacin and COD removal was investigated. Ciprofloxacin removal efficiency of more than 90% was achieved under optimum reaction conditions of pH value of 2, dosages of 0.75 mmol/L of ferrous ion, and 2.0 mmol/L of hydrogen peroxide after 10min. However, the change of COD in aqueous solution was not obvious and further study about intermediate products during oxidation process should be carried out in the future.

. The study combined UV/TiO2 with ultrasonic procedure to degrade azo dye wastewater of Acid Yellow 17. The effects of factors including pH value, initial concentration of dye, and quantities of TiO2, Fe (II), and Fe (III) added on the removal efficiency of azo dye Acid Yellow 17 were investigated. Experimental results revealed significant additive effect attributed to the combination of two procedures under 13-watt UV irradiation and 10-watt ultrasound. Analysis of the catalyst properties indicated no evident changes in the appearance of crystal and TiO2 catalyst by UV/TiO2 combined with ultrasonic procedure. However, the specific surface area was increased by approximately 53%. No effective formation of hydrogen peroxide (ND  1 mg/L) proved that the addition of Fe (II) and Fe (III) failed to induce the Fenton-like reaction effectively. Nevertheless, the addition of Fe ions affected significantly the initial adsorption and the degradation rate of the dye. Moreover, the treatment efficiency of Fe (III) was found to be superior to that of Fe (II) under the same concentration.

Fenton process has proven to be efficient in the removal of color and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from the aqueous environment. However, the environment, health, and economic constraints on the dosage of hydrogen peroxide represent a limitation towards a wide practical use of this approach. In this study, a novel approach is proposed; this includes the treatment with ferrous oxide through coagulation followed by integrated Fenton process. However, the excess ferrous and ferric ions from the coagulation step were utilized in the advanced oxidation step using hydrogen peroxide. The advantage here is the usage of the minimum number of hydrogen peroxide to comply with all the international environmental, safety, and health regulations. The aim of this study is to evaluate the capabilities of the unique integrated process of coagulation and Fenton process for color and COD removal of azo dye in an aqueous environment. The optimum operating parameters such as coagulant dose, temperature, and the dose of hydrogen peroxide were determined. This was done with the objective to optimize the percentage removal of color and COD. The main properties of the treated wastewater such as pH and COD content were measured after treatment against the Malaysian standard part B. The results show that the proposed method was successful for the removal of the color and COD from the aqueous environment to reach more than 99% with the new method.

In this paper, degradation of Orange II by homogeneous UV-Fenton process with low concentration of Fe3+ as catalyst was detected. And the effects of UV light wavelength, initial pH and reaction temperature on degradation of Orange II in homogeneous UV-Fenton system were studied in detail. It was found that the arithmetic sum of the rate constants of dye degradation in Fenton and UV-H2O2 and UV was much lower than that in UV-Fenton system with low concentration of Fe3+ as catalyst. The result showed that using low concentration of metallic salts as homogeneous catalyst would be a good alternative in UV-Fenton system for wastewater treatment.
