The present work consisted in evaluating the effect of a natural plant reducer, gallic acid (GA), on the discolouration/oxidation of two azo dyes by Fenton processes (Fe/HO and Fe/HO). A kinetic study was performed to better interpret the discolouration data at different temperatures. The 1st-order kinetic model presented the best fit for the experimental data of methyl orange discolouration, while the 2nd-order was better for chromotrope 2R. Due to the addition of GA and the temperature rise, there were increases in discolouration and in the reaction rate constant values. As a highlight, it was possible to verify the reduction of the apparent activation energy () due to the presence of GA. For example, for discolouring methyl orange corresponded to 81.5 and 53.6 kJ.mol by Fe/HO and Fe/HO/GA, respectively. Thus, it can be inferred that the GA reduces the energy barrier to increase the oxidation of dyes by Fenton processes.

As an emerging catalytic strategy, heterogeneous Piezo-Self-Fenton (EPSF) has demonstrated significant potential in fields such as environmental remediation and biomedicine in recent years. However, the catalytic reactions in this process are complex and diverse, and the understanding of high-entropy catalytic systems remains limited. In this study, we constructed a series of iron-based EPSF materials by incorporating various types of iron sources into MgO@rGO/PVDF-HFP composite piezoelectric films.

Fe-based metallic glass (MG) exhibits excellent performance as a heterogeneous catalyst in degradation but is rarely used as a working electrode in electro-Fenton (EF) systems. We used FeSiB MG as the working electrode to investigate the effect of the EF process on the degradation efficiency of p-nitrophenol (p-NP). The EF system had the highest catalytic efficiency (the reaction rate was 3.

This research focuses on addressing the environmental challenges posed by dairy wastewater problems using advanced oxidation processes (AOP). This study uses a composite of MIL-88 A(Fe)/C with an electro-Fenton process to mitigate the organic pollutants in dairy wastewater. The MIL-88 A(Fe)/C composite is synthesized by combining MIL88-A with carbon in a hydrothermal process, and its morphological characterization was investigated by spectroscopy and microscopy methods.
