Description :
The present study was used to probe the treatment of simulated wastewater containing 2-toluic acid by photoperoxidation processes. Experiments were conducted in a batch photo reactor to examine the effects of operating variables like pH and ratio of H2O2/COD. A pseudo-first order kinetic model was adopted to represent the photo-oxidative degradation of 2-toluic acid. The degradation of 2-toluic acid was found to be maximum at pH 4.5 and ratio of H2O2/COD equal to 5.
