Study explores textile wastewater treatment

PALMIRA - A new study highlights the potential of 'continuous Fenton processes' to tackle one of the textile industry's biggest environmental challenges - the treatment of dye-laden wastewater.

The Fenton process, an advanced oxidation technique, uses hydrogen peroxide and iron salts to generate highly reactive hydroxyl radicals able to degrade a wide range of organic pollutants, including stubborn synthetic dyes.
