Wastewater Treatment with the Fenton Process: Principles and Applications (Emerging Materials and Technologies)

The presence of refractory organic compounds in wastewater is a global problem.Advanced oxidation processes, in general, and the Fenton oxidation process are alternative technologies for wastewater and water treatment.This book gives an overview of Fenton process principles, explains the main factors in?uencing this technology, includes applications, kinetic and thermodynamic calculations and presents a strong overview on the heterogeneous catalytic approach.It demonstrates that the iron-based heterogeneous Fenton process, including nanoparticles, a new complex solution, is highly ef?cient, environmentally friendly and can be suitable for wastewater treatment and industrial wastewater. FEATURESDescribes in detail the heterogeneous Fenton process and process applicationsAnalyzes the advantages and disadvantages of different catalysts available and their suitability to speci?c processesProvides economic analysis of the Fenton process in a ready-to-use package for industrial practitioners
