Abstract

Two types of wastes, that is, blast furnace flue dust (BFD) from steel manufacturing industry and bleach waste (BW) from textile industry have been utilized for the Fenton-like and photo-Fenton-like processes to assess their efficacy in terms of dye-bath effluents treatment for color and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal. BFD was used as a catalyst while BW was utilized as H₂O₂ source. The results of this study illustrated that BFD catalyst can be effectively utilized for the treatment of dye-bath effluents when used along with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The BFD/H₂O₂/UV process resulted in almost more than 90% of the color removal and more than 60% COD removal within 5 min. However, the process without irradiation of UV, that is, BFD/H₂O₂ was a slow process giving a color removal of about 77% and COD of 67% in 2 h. The process conditions such as pH, concentration of H₂O₂ and concentration of catalyst affects all the processes similarly. However, the time for complete reaction was less for BFD/H₂O₂/UV than BFD/BW. These investigations showed that these processes can be used at higher industrial level to achieve the maximum efficiency in waste treatment processes.
