Fenton's Reagent Turns Printing-Ink Wastewater into Clean Effluent in Minutes
The researchers used Fenton's reagent to clean up printing-ink wastewater. They tested different amounts of FeSO4, H2O2, pH levels, and reaction times to find the best conditions. They found that using 800 mg/L of FeSO4 and a pH of 2.5 worked best. With 800 mg/L of H2O2 and 180 minutes of reaction time, they got the lowest remaining COD in the wastewater. After treatment, the wastewater met the required standards.
