TL;DR: This paper presents a literature review of the various Fenton reagent reactions which constitute the overall kinetic scheme with all possible side reactions and discusses the possibility of improving sludge dewaterability using Fenton's reagent.
2,424 citations
TL;DR: From the experiments, it is concluded that AST methods enhance cake dewaterability in two ways: they degrade EPS proteins and polysaccharides reducing the EPS water retention properties; and they promote flocculation which reduces the amount of fine flocs.
671 citations
TL;DR: The influence of extracellular polymer (ECP) on settling and dewatering characteristics is discussed, together with the importance of cations and ECP-hydrophobicity in the flocculation and de watering process.
607 citations
TL;DR: The excellent comparison of predicted and measured destruction efficiencies for a group of chlorinated aromatics stresses the validity of the design approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, the complex mechanisms of Fenton and Fenton-like reactions and the important factors influencing these reactions, from both a fundamental and practical perspective, in applications to water and soil treatment, are discussed.
Abstract: Fenton chemistry encompasses reactions of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of iron to generate highly reactive species such as the hydroxyl radical and possibly others. In this review, the complex mechanisms of Fenton and Fenton-like reactions and the important factors influencing these reactions, from both a fundamental and practical perspective, in applications to water and soil treatment, are discussed. The review covers modified versions including the photoassisted Fenton reaction, use of chelated iron, electro-Fenton reactions, and Fenton reactions using heterogeneous catalysts. Sections are devoted to nonclassical pathways, by-products, kinetics and process modeling, experimental design methodology, soil and aquifer treatment, use of Fenton in combination with other advanced oxidation processes or biodegradation, economic comparison with other advanced oxidation processes, and case studies.
