| Resource Title | Treatment of cartap wastewater through electro-Fenton process |
| Date Issued | June 2019 |
| Abstract | Cartap pesticides are one of emerging contaminants that are released into the environment at significantly high levels. Previous studies conducted for cartap wastewater treatment involves Fenton process and TiO2 photocatalysis. In this study, cartap wastewater was treated by employing electro-Fenton process with initial pH, initial Fe (II) concentration and initial H2O2 concentration as parameters. The central composite design experimental results (1 h run time) showed optimized results for the treatment of cartap wastewater showed 99.16% cartap removal and 0.24% percent error. Residual Fe (II) concentrations revealed that electro-Fenton process can regenerate Fe (II) concentrations after the 30-min runtime. The effects of inorganic salts such as phosphates, nitrates and chlorides, each with varying concentrations from 1 mM to 10 mM, were also investigated using the optimized parameters. Results showed that among those inorganic salts, phosphates exhibit the most inhibition in terms of cartap degradation. Chlorides and nitrates have lesser inhibition effects compared to that of phosphates. |
