A review of imperative technologies for wastewater treatment II: hybrid methods

01 Mar 2004-Advances in Environmental Research (Pergamon)-Vol. 8, Iss: 3, pp 553-597
TL;DR: In the first part of this two article series on the imperative technologies for wastewater treatment, a review of oxidation processes operating at ambient conditions was presented It has been observed that none of the methods can be used individually in wastewater treatment applications with good economics and high degree of energy efficiency Moreover, the knowledge required for the large-scale design and application is perhaps lacking as mentioned in this paper.

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.

  • ...Some contaminants or their by-products are capable of chelating iron, and thus the formation of ferryl complexes originating from such chelates in Fenton AOPs is plausible, and more effort in this area is warranted....

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the use of sunlight to produce the OH radicals by TiO2 photocatalysis and photo-Fenton process and summarized most of the research carried out related to solar photocatalytic degradation of water contaminants and how it could significantly contribute to the treatment of persistent toxic compounds.

TL;DR: The main conclusions arrived at from the overall assessment of the literature are that more work needs to be done on degradation kinetics and reactor modeling of the combined process, and also dynamics of the initial attack on primary contaminants and intermediate species generation.
