Feasibility of rapid treatment of BTEX in groundwater by Fenton’s reagent

The removal effect of Fenton’s oxidation treatment of benzene,toluene,ethyl benzene,and xylenes(BTEX) in groundwater was investigated.The results show that Fenton’s reagent suggested a strong ability to oxidize BTEX.While H2O2 /BTEX(molar ratio) = 5 and 10,H2O2 /Fe(II)(molar ratio) = 4 and 8 were best for oxidizing BTEX.The removal rate was over 80%.While H2O2 /BTEX(molar ratio) = 20,Fenton’s reagent suggested an effectively oxidation and there was little impact of H2O2 /Fe(II) on Fenton’s treat...
