HETEROGENEOUS OXIDATION OF METHYLENE BLUE WITH IRON SUPPORTED ON ACTIVATED CARBON

Abstract

The oxidation of heterogeneous Fenton based on iron supported on the
commercial activated carbon (Fe/AC) is used to decompose methylene blue
(MB). The preparing of catalysts was implemented by the impregnating
activated carbon with agents and followed by a calcination to modify the
catalysts. The catalysts was characterized by XRD, SEM-EDX methods. Catalytic
activities were evaluated through the oxidation of methylene blue (MB), the
effects of parameters such as pH, the contents of catalyts, H2O2 and time on the
yield of the oxidation process were investigated.
