A review of classic Fenton’s peroxidation as an advanced oxidation technique

Neyens, E., Baeyens, J.·2003·Journal of Hazardous Materials

Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is a strong oxidant and its application in the treatment of various inorganic and organic pollutants is well established. Still H(2)O(2) alone is not effective for high concentrations of certain refractory contaminants because of low rates of reaction at reasonable H(2)O(2) concentrations. Improvements can be achieved by using transition metal salts (e.g. iron salts) or ozone and UV-light can activate H(2)O(2) to form hydroxyl radicals, which are strong oxidants. Oxidation processes utilising activation of H(2)O(2) by iron salts, classically referred to as Fenton's reagent is known to be very effective in the destruction of many hazardous organic pollutants in water. The first part of our paper presents a literature review of the various Fenton reagent reactions which constitute the overall kinetic scheme with all possible side reactions. It also summarises previous publications on the relationships between the dominant parameters (e.g. [H(2)O(2)], [Fe(2+)], . . .). The second part of our review discusses the possibility of improving sludge dewaterability using Fenton's reagent.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
