Influence of mineral water constituents, organic matter and water matrices on the performance of the H2O2/IO4--advanced oxidation process

Abstract

We have recently reported that the reaction of H2O2/IO4- could be a new advanced oxidation process (AOP) for water treatment [N. E. Chadi, S. Merouani, O. Hamdaoui, M. Bouhelassa and M. Ashokkumar, H2O2/periodate (IO4-): a novel advanced oxidation technology for the degradation of refractory organic pollutants, Environ. Sci.: Water Res. Technol., 2019, 5, 1113-1123]. Experiments were conducted in deionized water using toluidine blue (TB) as a model pollutant, in which the impact of all operating conditions was clarified. Herein, we report, for the first time, the impact of mineral water constituents (salts), different kinds of organic additives (surfactants, sucrose, glucose and carboxylic a..
