A Review Paper on Heterogeneous Fenton Catalyst: Types of Preparation, Modification Techniques, Factors Affecting the Synthesis, Characterization, and Application in the Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

This comprehensive review focuses on the different factors, modification in the synthesis method, characterization and application of heterogeneous catalyst in the wastewater treatment based on the Fenton process. The present review highlights the different catalyst preparation methods like wet impregnation method, hydrothermal method, sol-gel method, precipitation method and their application to treat different recalcitrant organic chemicals. Major heterogeneous catalyst synthesis methods were discussed with their excellent workability. The importance of modification through physical and chemical method was also reported. Different catalyst, pollutants and optimum parametric conditions available in the literature along with some relevant studies are summarized. The effect of factors like pH, calcination and some other modifiers on the synthesis and their efficiency in the wastewater treatment has been described. The important characterization of synthesized catalysts explaining their working efficiency has also been discussed. In the final section, the application of heterogeneous catalyst synthesized by different methods in the wastewater/effluent treatment has been investigated. The main aim of this review is to find out the influence of process parameters and catalytic method on degradation/decolorization of organic compounds present in industrial or synthetic wastewater.

Facile Synthesis of a Library of Hollow Metallic Particles through the Galvanic Replacement of Liquid Gallium

“…In our work, we were able to obtain hollow metallic capsules based on Ga with Cu, Ni, Cd, Co, and Sn (designated for the sake of brevity as Ga–Me, respectively) as well as trimetallic Ga–Cu–Ni capsules. Distinctive attention was paid to copper-containing capsules, as copper is a well-known antimicrobial agent and is used for catalysis. , …”

“…Distinctive attention was paid to coppercontaining capsules, as copper is a well-known antimicrobial agent and is used for catalysis. 33,34 To examine the obtained capsules, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) alongside energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis for elemental composition recognition was used (Figure 2). SEM images of the initial gallium particles are presented in Figure 2a.…”

Advances in Titanium Carbide (Ti3C2Tx) MXenes and Their Metal–Organic Framework (MOF)-Based Nanotextures for Solar Energy Applications: A Review

“…78 MOFs can also be prepared via a straightforward coprecipitation method where the reactants are mixed until precipitates are formed without involving external energy sources. 79 Co-precipitation provides a uniform distribution of components. ZIF-67 is a prime example of a MOF prepared via the co-precipitation method.…”

Design of Polymer-Embedded Heterogeneous Fenton Catalysts for the Conversion of Organic Trace Compounds

“…Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) show high efficiency in treating various persistent organic compounds due to the in situ generation of nonselective, highly reactive hydroxyl radicals, which are among the most powerful oxidizing agents. A wide range of organic compounds react with hydroxyl radicals and are converted into small organic molecules, usually CO 2 and H 2 O [6][7][8].…”
