TREATABILITY STUDY OF FENTON ACTIVATED CARBON CATALYTICAL OXIDATION FOR PHARMACEUTICAL WASTE WATER TRATMENT

Environmental engineering

This Study has been carried out to study treatability of Fenton activated carbon catalytical oxidation for pharmaceutical waste water treatment. Pharmaceutical waste water containing high amount of organic content of non biodegradable nature , these substance are resistance to biodegradation because of low BOD/COD values. The conventional treatment may not be effective for removal of such pollutant. So, advanced oxidation processes can be a good choice for pharmaceutical waste water abetment. Of all the AOP's , the use of Fe for the degradation of organic compound in pharmaceutical industries effluent in pre-oxidation process has recently emerged as an active research area. In last decade the homogeneous Fenton process encountered major drawbacks even though receiving much attention with more emphasis on heterogeneous catalysts. FACCO as a treatment can be good option to increase biodegradability of pharmaceutical waste water.
