Use of solar energy in the treatment of water contaminated with phenol by photochemical processes

The solar driven photo-Fenton process for treating water containing phenol as a contaminant has been evaluated by means of pilot-scale experiments with a parabolic trough solar reactor (PTR). The effects of Fe(II) (0.04-1.0 mmol L-1), H2O2 (7-270 mmol L-1), initial phenol concentration (100 and 500...
