Abstract:Palm oil mill effluent (POME) has an adverse effect on the environment due to its high toxicity, low pH, and high chemical and biological oxygen demand. The degradation using Fenton processes is considered as an attractive and sustainable way for the treatment of POME. In this study, as-synthesized birnessite-type manganese oxide was used as the Fenton catalyst for the treatment of POME. This oxide is a typical manganese oxide with an octahedral layered structured and was synthesized from the reduction of MnO4… Show more
