Abstract

The present study highlights the olive mill wastewater (OMW) treatment characteristics through a sono-heterogeneous Fenton process using new designed [GTA-(PDA-g-DAC) @Fe3O4] and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), magnetic properties measurements, and point of zero charge (pH pzc) analysis. A preliminary removal study showed significant degradation efficiency (75%) occurred combining the magnetic synthesized catalyst [GTA-(PDA-g-DAC)@Fe3O4] ([catalyst] = 2 g/L) with US /H2O2 and maintaining 500WL−1 ultrasonic power (US). The values obtained by US only were (13%), H2O2/US (18%), US/Fe3O4 (28%), and US /Fe3O4/H2O2(35%). The catalytic findings have shown that [GTA-(PDA-g-DAC)@Fe3O4] exhibited good properties for OMW compound’s degradation. The sonocatalytic process coupling and extra oxidant addition resulted in the degradation substantial levels. For instance, the concomitant effect of degradation optimized parameters; H2O2 10 mM, [GTA-(PDA-g-DAC) @Fe3O4] nanocomposites 2.5 g/L, at pH 3, and T 35 °C for 70 min resulted in an almost complete mineralization of aqueous OMW solution followed by a significant decolorization. Oxidation results exhibited efficient degradation rates in total phenolic compounds (TPC), total amino compounds (TAC), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) oxidation rate were 89.88, 92.75, and 95.66 respectively following the optimized sono-heterogeneous catalytic Fenton process. The prepared magnetic catalyst exhibited a good stability during repeated cycles. The gathered findings gave the evidence that sono-heterogeneous catalytic Fenton process is a promising treatment technology for OMW effluents.
