Abstract:
The present study was used to probe the treatment of simulated wastewater containing 2-toluic acid by photo-fenton processes. Experiments were conducted in a batch photoreactor to examine the effects of operating variables like concentration of Fe2+ and doses of H2O2. 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 Fe2+ concentration of 0.0093mM/L and H2O2 concentration of 1.7mM/L.
Keywords: 2-toluic acid, photo-fenton processes, pseudo-first order.
