Printing and packaging process wastewater (PPPW) with high flow rates causes severe damage to the environment due to high organic pollution (3830.0 mg O/L of COD and 813.6 mg/L of TOC) and turbidity (9110 NTU). This study examined the efficiencies of coagulation, Fenton, and photo-Fenton procedures, and their combinations in the treatment of PPPW. The three inorganic salts (FeCl, Al(SO), and Fe(SO)) were used in a wide range of pH (2.5-10) as a coagulant, and FeCl was chosen as the optimum coagulant. The 71.3% of TOC removal and the decreasing of turbidity up to 5.8 NTU were obtained at 0.5 g/L FeCl and pH of 6.0. Then, Fenton and photo-Fenton processes were applied to the effluent of the coagulation process. The Fenton process engaged the TOC removal efficiencies up to 85.2% in the presence of 7.350 g/L iron catalysts and 36.0 mL/L HO. The combined coagulation and Fenton process is a promising way to decrease the COD up to 119 mg O/L, meeting the wastewater discharge standards of COD (200 mg O/L) in Turkey. However, adding UV sources to the Fenton process showed a little bit of engagement (only %1.4 extra removal). When evaluated for PPPW, it is seen that the usage of combined coagulation and the Fenton process is an important treatment alternative. Furthermore, Zeta potential measurements and size exclusion chromatography were used to understand the removal mechanism.

The wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) procedure results in wastewater containing a complex mixture of pollutants, including heavy metals and organic compounds, which are hardly degradable and pose significant environmental challenges. Addressing this issue, the proposed approach, incorporating waste iron shavings as a heterocatalyst within a modified Fenton process, represents a sustainable and effective solution for contaminants degrading in WFGD wastewater. Furthermore, this study aligns with the Best Available Techniques (BAT) regulations by meeting the requirement for compound oxidation-replacing the chlorine utilization with the generation of highly reactive radicals-and coagulation, which completes the treatment process.

In the treatment of industrial wastewater by electron beam technology, the flocculation process was frequently coupled with electron beam radiation to improve the water quality to meet the discharge standard. Iron-containing coagulant was widely used in the flocculation process. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of residual iron-containing coagulants on pollutant degradation by the ionizing radiation process.

Textile wastewater, laden with persistent dyes and non-biodegradable organics, poses a challenge for treatment in common effluent treatment plants (CETPs) using conventional methods. Pre-treatment of textile effluents is essential to ensure compatibility with CETPs. The present study employed three-dimensional (3D) aluminum and graphite electrodes for a sequential electro-coagulation and electro-Fenton (EC + EF) process.

Article Synopsis
- The removal efficiency is crucial in the coagulation-flocculation process for treating wastewater, but the ecotoxicological impacts also need thorough investigation.
- A systematic review categorized 48 toxicity studies into acute toxicity, phytotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity, revealing that conventional metallic coagulants are generally less toxic than synthetic polymers, with natural coagulants showing variable results.
- Challenges include diverse coagulant types, species sensitivity, and varying environmental conditions, but advancements in technology and a focus on sustainability are expected to improve eco-friendly alternatives and enhance wastewater treatment safety.

Methylene blue (MB) is a refractory organic pollutant that poses a potential threat to the aquatic environment. Fenton reaction is considered a primrose strategy to treat MB. However, the traditional Fenton process is plagued by narrow pH application range, poor stability, and secondary pollution.
