OXIDATIVE DEGRADATION OF 4-CHLOROPHENOL FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION BY PHOTO-FENTON ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESS

Abstract

An experimental study on 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) degradation with hydrogen peroxide by advanced oxidation process Photo-Fenton type is presented.The oxidation process is determined by the very high oxidative potential of the OH .radicals generated inside the reaction medium by Fe 2+ catalyst coupled with UV radiations.The influence of the hydrogen peroxide excess, initial solution's pH, Fe 2+ catalyst concentration, initial concentration of 4-CP and reaction time on the oxidation process are presented.
