Abstract
Industrial effluents are produced in large quantities in underdeveloped nations, where they cannot be handled using conventional treatment techniques. In this study, hydroxyl radicals (HO•) were successfully generated for the treatment of industrial wastewater represented in TOC removals by combining a ferrous catalyst with hydrogen peroxide in the Fenton reaction. The effects of operating conditions of pH, ferrous dose, H2O2 dose, time, and initial TOC concentration were studied for the Fenton process and different operating parameters were studied for the coagulation process to optimize and control the removal efficiency. The results showed that Fenton oxidation processes are able to reduce about 86 % for initial TOC level of 2000 and 95 % for initial TOC level of 400 after using 0.15 g/L ferrous dose, 10 mL/L of 30 % H2O2 for 30 min at acidic pH 4. Finally, this study recommends removing organic materials from industrial effluent using the Fenton oxidation method.
期刊介绍:
Egyptian Journal of Petroleum is addressed to the fields of crude oil, natural gas, energy and related subjects. Its objective is to serve as a forum for research and development covering the following areas: • Sedimentation and petroleum exploration. • Production. • Analysis and testing. • Chemistry and technology of petroleum and natural gas. • Refining and processing. • Catalysis. • Applications and petrochemicals. It also publishes original research papers and reviews in areas relating to synthetic fuels and lubricants - pollution - corrosion - alternate sources of energy - gasification, liquefaction and geology of coal - tar sands and oil shale - biomass as a source of renewable energy. To meet with these requirements the Egyptian Journal of Petroleum welcomes manuscripts and review papers reporting on the state-of-the-art in the aforementioned topics. The Egyptian Journal of Petroleum is also willing to publish the proceedings of petroleum and energy related conferences in a single volume form.
