Abstract
The use of Fenton’s reagent (Fe(II) + H2 O 2 yields hydroxyl radical) has been applied to remediation of contaminated soil sites and treatment of industrial waste streams. However, degradation of dissolved organic pollutants by Fenton’s reagent is strongly affected by thepresence of other dissolved species. Natural organic matter (NOM) exerts three main influences on hydroxyl radical mediated oxidation of pollutants: 1) reduction of hydroxyl radical concentration through scavenging, 2) reduction in hydroxyl radical formation rate and efficiency through iron binding or redox coupling, and 3) sequestering of pollutants away from hydroxyl radical through pollutant-NOM binding. Sequestering of pollutants away from hydroxyl radical appears to be a significant mechanism for reducing degradation efficiency. All three effects must be accounted for in developing models for in situ degradation. Furthermore, the effects observed in the presence of natural organic matter may be similar to effects of non-pollutant organic compounds present in industrial waste streams.
