FENTON process

Fenton process

The Fenton Process is an advanced oxidation technology used for the degradation of organic compounds in effluents with a high organic load.
This method is effective in removing pollutants that are difficult to treat with conventional processes.

What is the Fenton Process?

The Fenton Process is a chemical reaction that uses the oxidation of ferrous ions (Fe2+) to ferric ions (Fe3+) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). This reaction generates hydroxyl radicals (-OH), which are highly reactive and capable of oxidizing and decomposing organic compounds.

How the fenton process works:

Oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+

Fe2+ is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide, generating hydroxyl radicals.

Generation of hydroxyl radicals

Hydroxyl radicals oxidize the organic compounds present in the effluent.

pH adjustment

After the reaction, the pH is adjusted to promote decantation of the solids.

Decantation and sludge formation

The oxidized contaminants are removed from the effluent as sludge, which can be easily decanted.

Benefits

High efficiency

Efficient degradation of complex organic compounds.
