Application of Fenton oxidation for municipal sewage wastewater
Abstract
Production of wastewater are become directly proportional increase every year.
Development of human civilization with modern technology lifestyle cause of production of wastewater are become big challenges for the engineers. Conventional wastewater treatment are might be helpful in treating wastewater but the effectiveness are in low level of potential in treating wastewater in the future. This study was carried out to determine the best condition of Fenton oxidation in treating municipal sewage
wastewater. Although this wastewater are being categorize as low strength of
wastewater, this research might being able to describe the high effective of oxidation by
controlling few important parameter. Removal of heavy metal (Pb) are being set as
response variable to observe the efficiency in treating this wastewater. The optimization
process were being tested by using Design Expert Software, in order to study the
Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Central Composite Design were choosing in
RSM study in order to get desired amount of catalyst and oxidant which give high
removal of heavy metal. Maximum removal can be achieve (90.89%) when the sample
was treated at pH 3 in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and iron of 443.24 mg/L and
16.08 mg/L respectively. RSM are being choose as tools in optimizing process due to its
ability to formulate, develop and analyse effect of model parameter.
