Fenton advanced oxidation technology uses the synergistic effect of hydrogen peroxide (H\u2082O\u2082) and ferrous ions (Fe\u00b2\u207a) to generate hydroxyl radicals (\u00b7OH) with extremely strong oxidizing properties. Its oxidation potential is as high as 2.73V (at pH=4), second only to hydrofluoric acid. The core reaction equation is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chain reaction starts: H\u2082O\u2082 + Fe\u00b2\u207a \u2192 Fe\u00b3\u207a + OH\u207b + \u00b7OH<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Free radical oxidation: RH + \u00b7OH \u2192 R\u00b7 + H\u2082OR\u00b7 + O\u2082 \u2192 ROO\u00b7 \u2192 CO\u2082 + H\u2082O<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iron ion cycle: Fe\u00b3\u207a + H\u2082O\u2082 \u2192 Fe\u00b2\u207a + HO\u2082\u00b7 + H\u207aThrough the above cycle, Fe\u00b2\u207a acts as a catalyst to continuously activate H\u2082O\u2082, achieving efficient mineralization of organic pollutants (converted into CO\u2082, H\u2082O and inorganic salts).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Technical advantages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Highly efficient degradation of difficult-to-degrade organic matter: It has non-selective oxidation ability for highly stable pollutants such as aromatic compounds (such as phenols, chlorobenzenes) and polychlorinated biphenyls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Easy to operate: no UV light or high temperature conditions are required, and rapid reaction (0.5-2 hours) can be achieved at room temperature, saving space and energy consumption. Environmentally friendly: avoids the generation of secondary pollutants such as chlorinated organic matter, and the sludge can be recycled as an iron salt resource after treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Controllable cost: The initial investment is only 1\/3-1\/4 of that of traditional biological treatment, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Challenges and Improved Technologies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Pain points of traditional Fenton method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Large amount of sludge: Fe(OH)\u2083 precipitates are difficult to settle, increasing disposal costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waste of reagents: After the COD removal rate reaches 50%-70%, the utilization rate of H2O2 decreases significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Color remixing: Fe\u00b3\u207a is not completely precipitated, resulting in yellow-brown water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Improvement direction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fluidized bed-Fenton method: Silica sand crystallization nuclei are used to induce Fe(OH)\u2083 to form stable crystals (particle size 1-2mm), reducing the amount of sludge by 70% and improving the utilization rate of H\u2082O\u2082.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Electro-Fenton technology: Combined with electrochemical oxidation, it generates Fe\u00b2\u207a\/Fe\u00b3\u207a cycles in situ and reduces the dosage of reagents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Photocatalytic Fenton: UV light enhances OH generation and reduces H\u2082O\u2082 demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Key points of engineering application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The order of adding reagents: acidification first (pH\u22482.5) \u2192 adding Fe\u00b2\u207a (after 15 minutes) \u2192 adding H\u2082O\u2082 \u2192 adjusting the pH to neutral \u2192 flocculation and precipitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Influent water quality requirements: SS <200mg\/L, avoid interfering substances such as sulfide ions and cyanide, and the Cl\u207b concentration tolerance threshold needs to be determined through experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sludge treatment: Use PAM (polyacrylamide) to enhance flocculation, or add lime to adjust pH to promote iron sludge sedimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corrosion protection: Equipment should be made of corrosion-resistant materials (such as FRP, HDPE), and hydrogen peroxide storage tanks and pipelines should be inspected regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
