An optimized sono-heterogeneous Fenton degradation of olive-oil mill wastewater organic matter by new magnetic glutarlaldehyde-crosslinked developed cellulose.

The present study highlights the olive mill wastewater (OMW) treatment characteristics through a sono-heterogeneous Fenton process using new designed [GTA-(PDA-g-DAC) @FeO] and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), magnetic properties measurements, and point of zero charge (pH pzc) analysis. A preliminary removal study showed significant degradation efficiency (75%) occurred combining the magnetic synthesized catalyst [GTA-(PDA-g-DAC)@Fe3O4] ([catalyst] = 2 g/L) with US /HO and maintaining 500WL ultrasonic power (US). The values obtained by US only were (13%), HO/US (18%), US/FeO (28%), and US /FeO/HO(35%).
