Investigation of operational conditions for the removal of methylene blue by fenton reaction

Abstract EN

Fenton reaction has been concerned by many researchers due to easy operation and effective degradation of bioresistant organics.

This study aims to investigate the effect of the operational conditions on the effectiveness of Fenton’s process for the decolorization of methylene blue.The influence of methylene blue, pH, dose of H2O2 , ferrous sulfate concentration from the wastewater were studied.

Experiments have shown that highly affect by the value of pH, Laboratory experiment conducted in the lab proved that pH should be between 3 - 4 to give the best results, It also proved that the increasing of the dose of both hydrogen peroxide and ferrous sulfate enhanced the removal efficiency of MB.
