Introduction

• Application of Chelating agents (EDTA, Citric Acid...) in industries:

— Metal production—Detergent —Cleaning process (Boilers, Tanks, Pipes)

• Environmental concerns over utilization of chelating agents (EDTA)

—Mental-Complexation —Mobilization of Heavy Metals (Ni, Pb, As, Fe, ...)—Eutrophication Driven Substance (Lan et al.

(2012) 3

• Chelated complexation negatively impact on– Iron Exchange– Chemical Precipitation– Biological Processes– Adsorption (Fu et al., 2009,

&2012)

• Therefore, treatment methods are scanned and searched

5

• Possibility of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP)– Degradation of variety of organic compounds– Cost effectiveness – Ease of application (Poyatos et al., 2010)

• Most common application of Fenton reaction and Fenton-like reaction among other AOPs for industrial wastewater (Bautista et al., 2008)

1. To determine the applicability and optimum condition Fenton and Fenton-like reactions for cleaning wastewater treatment

2. To investigate the impact of operating parameters ( pH, Fe2+/ Fe3+, H2O2 and reaction time) on treatment efficiency

3. To investigate the kinetic of degradation organic compounds in term of COD

Scope and Limitation

10

• Real De-rusting (cleaning) Wastewater is used

• Jar Test Apparatus is conducted at laboratory room temperature at DChE, BUU

• Objective Parameters: COD and Total Iron, Turbidity, TSS, TDS

• Kinetic degradation organic chelating agents are monitored in term of COD

• Fonton Oxidation Products are not monitored

11

• Objective Parameters = f ( pH, Temp-, [Fe2+],[ Fe3+], [H2O], RT, Mixing Speed)

• Independent Variables: COD, Total Iron, TDS, TSS, Turbidity

• Dependent Variables: pH, [Fe2+],[ Fe3+], [H2O], Reaction Time

• Control Variables: Temp- , mixing speed and wastewater characteristics

Theoretical and Empirical Reviews

Theoretical and Empirical Reviews

13

• Discovered by Mr. Fenton in 1894 : mixture of Fe2+ with H2O2 in acidic condition

• Advanced Oxidation Processes based on Fenton Reaction are well-known for – Ability in degradation of varirous organic compounds– Ease of application – Cost Effective– Biodegradability Improvement (COD/BOD ratio)– POPs degradation

(6) Fe3+ + HO2• → Fe2+ + H+ + O2 1.2 106 M-1s-1

Scavenging effects results from overdoing of [H2O2 ] and Fe2+/3+ in the system

Fe2+ + •OH → Fe3+ + OH−

Fe2+ + HO2• → Fe3+ + HO2

−

Fe3+ + HO2• → Fe2+ + H+ + O2

H2O2+ •OH → HO2• + H2O

Fe2+ + H2O2 → Fe3+ + OH• + OH− (Fenton oxidation)

Fe3+ + H2O2 → Fe2+ + HO2• + OH− (Fenton-like reaction)

17

Factor Effecting Fenton and Fenton-like Reaction

• pH suitable with 3-6 - At low pH decompose H2O2 into O2 and H2O by Fe2+ and

reaction between •OH and H+ occurs (Neyens & Baeyens, 2003)

- At high pH Precipitate Fe(OH)3 decompose H2O2 into O2 and H2O2 without •OH and stable Fe-complex is formed (Bautista et al.,2007&2008)
