Biodegradability Improvement of Antibiotics Aqueous Solution by Fenton Process
Antibiotics wastewater has high COD and very low BOD5, and hence is difficult to treat biologically. This paper aims at studying the effect of operating conditions (H2O2/COD molar ratios, H2O2/ Fe2+ molar ratios, pH, antibiotics concentration and reaction time) of Fenton process on biodegradability...
