ABSTRACT
Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) is the emerging technology used for site remediation. two different oxidants are being used for this technology, i.e., Hydrogen peroxide, and sodium Persulfate. Mostly being used is catalyzed hydrogen peroxide among all because of its efficiency to remediate and is also less costly. The objective of this paper is Pharmaceutical API wastewater sample using Catalyzed Hydrogen Peroxide. Different concentrations of peroxide were tested.. The present study showed that catalysed hydrogen peroxide can be effective to decolorize and demineralize the groundwater and used for Wastewater treatment. The experimental results indicate that during Fenton’s oxidation, COD reduction was faster than degradation .The rate of oxidation was influenced by dose of Fe2+, H2O2,. The optimum conditions required for maximum degradation were 32.53g/L of H2O2 and accordingly Fe2+ dose. Fe2+ added is 5-25 parts wt/wt to hydrogen peroxide. This investigation has demonstrated the potential of applying Fenton’s process for the treatment of Wastewater.
