MECHANISM OF HOMOGENEOUS FENTON OXIDATION OF PHENOL-CONTAINING WASTEWATER

Lecheng Lei

Abstract

Comparison of UV VIS spectra between Fenton (UV Fenton) and UV/H 2O 2 during the photo degradation of phenol indicates that the Fenton process is not a simple hydroxyl radical reaction and multi valent iron is the important intermediate during the Fenton process Phenol was degraded through the inner sphere electron transfer reaction within the complex Fe(Ⅳ) phenol The traditional hydroxyl radical theory seemingly could not be used to explain Fenton type oxidation reaction mechanism
