Microwave irradiation, a form of electromagnetic energy, has found a novel application in wastewater treatment. This technology harnesses microwaves’ ability to generate heat and induce chemical reactions, leading to the breakdown of pollutants and pathogens in wastewater. The method stands out for its efficiency and the speed with which it can disinfect and treat water, […]

The Fenton process is an advanced oxidation procedure that harnesses the chemistry of iron and hydrogen peroxide to purify wastewater. It is named after the British chemist H.J.H. Fenton, who discovered that ferrous ions could catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to generate hydroxyl radicals, potent oxidants capable of degrading a wide range of organic […]

The treatment of wastewater is a vital process for maintaining the health of our water bodies and the environment at large. One of the pivotal stages in this process is flocculent settling, a method used to remove particulate matter from wastewater. This technique relies on the aggregation of smaller particles into larger ones, known as […]
