Study on Advanced Oxidation of Cafeteria Wastewater Using Fenton Reagent

Fenton reagent was selected as oxidizers for the oxidation and degradation of cafeteria wastewater. The treatment effects were evaluated by the changes of COD and BOD5 parameters. The effects of Fenton reagent ratio, dosage of FeSO4•7H2O and pH value on wastewater treatment under normal temperature and pressure were investigated, the oxidation regularity is initially discovered as well. Orthogonal experiments were designed to optimize the processing conditions based on the single affected factor. The optimized controlling conditions for Fenton reagent treatment process is FeSO4•7H2O=1mmol/L, pH=3, H2O2/Fe2+=3.5:1, reaction time=60min. With Fenton reagent treatment the COD removal ratio was raised up to 94%. Compared with biological process, it saved land occupation and was more suitable for regions which lacked of land space.
