ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:
Due to its widespread use, bisphenol A (BPA) is commonly found as a contaminant in wastewater, posing significant environmental and health risks. Conventional treatment methods often fail to completely remove it, necessitating the development of more effective technologies. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), particularly the Fenton reaction, have garnered considerable attention for the degradation of organic pollutants. The Fenton reagent uses hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and ferrous iron (Fe²⁺) to generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH), which are highly reactive and capable of breaking down BPA. This study investigates the effect of H₂O₂ concentration on the efficiency and kinetics of BPA degradation in sulfate-rich wastewater using the Fenton process. The results show that increasing H₂O₂ concentration enhances BPA degradation, with a pseudo-first-order kinetic model describing the process. These findings support the optimization of the Fenton process for the efficient removal of BPA from wastewater.
