ABSTRACT
The effluent from the soap manufacturing industry containing high amount of COD and BOD content. This effluent treated with the new emerging advanced oxidation process like Ultrasound with fenton and hydrogen peroxide. At laboratory scale ultrasound treatment examined at varying pH (2, 2.5 and 3) with varying COD to H2O2 ratio (8, 6 and 4) and H2O2 to Fe ratio (10, 8 and 6). In ultrasound treatment in combination with Fe and H2O2, the maximum 91.12% of COD removal achieved at pH: 3, H2O2 to Fe ratio 6 and COD to H2O2 ratio 6 and maximum 93.77% of BOD removal achieved at pH 3, H2O2 to Fe ratio 10 and COD to H2O2 ratio 8 with 120 minutes of reactions. Ultrasound with Fe and H2O2 treatment gives the better COD and BOD removal efficiency. So this treatment proved to be more effective for degradation of soap manufacturing industry wastewater
