OXYDATION D’UN POLLUANT ORGANIQUE PAR UN PROCEDE D’OXYDATION

Abstract

In this work, an emerging and innovative Fe°/chlorine system, similar to the Fenton process, was tested for the removal of four synthetic dyes: OA7, H3G, AG25, and TB. A significant portion was then dedicated to a detailed parametric study on the first dye (OA7). The Fe°/chlorine process can be highly effective for wastewater treatment. The reaction between Fe° and chlorine generates numerous free radicals capable of rapidly oxidizing organic matter in aqueous solutions. Experiments conducted under operating conditions (pH 3, [chlorine]0 = 250 μM, and [OA7]0 = 20 mg/L) with OA7 showed that approximately 86.7% removal of OA7 was achieved after only 5 minutes of treatment. The efficiency of removal increases with chlorine and iron doses up to a certain optimal level. The study also presents the sensitivity of the process to operating parameters, mineral additives, and natural matrices. Given these encouraging results, it is relevant to explore these emerging Fe°/chlorine systems, akin to Fenton-type processes, given their ease of implementation with simple, readily available, and cost-effective reagents at pH 3.
