The Photo-Fenton treatment achieved a maximum COD reduction of 79 % under optimized conditions (0.829 mL/L of H₂O₂, 0.625 g/L of FeSO₄ for 60 min). After photooxidative treatment, the samples were suspended in AC and filtered. Kinetic and equilibrium studies showed that the AC could remove 1666.6 mg.O₂/g per gram of AC, confirming its effectiveness as an adsorbent after the Photo-Fenton process.
