Cationic Dye Degradation and Real Textile Wastewater Treatment by Heterogeneous Photo-Fenton, Using a Novel Natural Catalyst

A photo-Fenton process using a local iron oxide as a natural catalyst was compared to Fenton and UV/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> advanced oxidation processes for degrading crystal violet (CV) dye in aqueous solutions. The catalyst was characterized by transmission electron micr...
