Advanced Oxidation of Olive Mill Wastewater OMW by an Oxidative Free- Radical Process Induced With Zero Valent Iron

Abstract: <p>The degradation of olive mill wastewater (OMW) with hydroxyl radicals generated from zero-valent iron and hydrogen peroxide has been investigated by means of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and phenolic compounds analyses. The mechanism uses zero-valent iron activated by oxygen at room temperature to generate Hydroxyl-free radicals that subsequently oxidize organic constituents and clean wastewater. The effects of the iron mass, the pH and the organic matter concentration have been studied. Our experimen… Show more

“…Water treatment using zero valent metals (ZVM) in a reactor (or water body) [1][2][3][4][5][6], by aquifer injection/infiltration [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], or by placement in a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) located within an aquifer [15][16][17], results in an increase in water pH [5][6][7]18] and a change in water Eh [5][6][7]18]. This is accompanied by a change in water electrical conductivity (EC) [5][6][7]18] which is associated with: (i) the removal of cations and anions from the water by the ZVM (water treatment) [5][6][7]18]; (ii) dissolution of part of the ZVM into the water body [5,19].…”

“…Recently an intensive research is being conducted on the photocatalytic treatment of olive-mills wastewater using different catalysts [25][26][27][28][29]. However it must be ensured that in these works either the harmful UV radiation, or expensive catalysts or hazardous chemicals are used.…”
