Effective treatment of hospital wastewater with high-concentration diclofenac and ibuprofen using a promising technology based on degradation reaction catalyzed by Fe under microwave irradiation.

Real hospital wastewater was effectively treated by a promising technology based on degradation reaction catalyzed by Fe under microwave irradiation in this work. Fe powders were synthesized and characterized by different techniques, resulting in a single-phase sample with spherical particles. Optimum experimental conditions were determined by a central composite rotatable design combined with a response surface methodology, resulting in 96.
