High removal efficiency of dye pollutants by anodic Fenton treatment

What is it about?

The objective of this study is to analyze the performance of a modified AFT reactor and its application to economically treat several synthetic solutions of azo-dye, including an industrial textile effluent.

Why is it important?

Major features: a) the divided electrochemical reactor is a potentially scalable flow cell, b) the reactor separator (treated cation membrane) allows a low energy consummation during the wastewater treatment, c) there is no need to perform several trails with different [Fe2+]/[H2O2] ratios to find out the best experimental conditions. The stoichiometric amount of H2O2 required was added in a single dose at the beginning of the electrolysis, d) the AFT allows an economic cogeneration of H2.
