Statistical Optimization of the Fenton Process for Treatment of Amoxicillin and Cloxacillin Antibiotic Aqueous Solution by Response Surface Methodology

Fenton treatment of amoxicillin and cloxacillin antibiotic aqueous solution was optimized using the central composite design (CCD) and response surface methodology (RSM). The optimum operating conditions which achieved 78.98, 72.96 and 81.18% removal of COD, TOC and NH3-N, respectively at pH 3...
