Use of an amorphous iron oxide hydrated as catalyst for hydrogen peroxide oxidation of ferulic acid in water

摘要

The abatement of ferulic acid (FA), a polyphenolic constituent of olive mill wastewater, is studied in the pH range 5.0-7.0 by using hydrogen peroxide and an amorphous iron oxide as catalyst. The effect of pH, catalyst load, hydrogen peroxide and substrat
