Wastewater treatment of biodiesel production using persulphate ion as an oxidant.
Introduction: The production of biodiesel produces a highly polluting effluent, because presents high values of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), oils and fats, among other contaminants. Sodium persulphate is a powerful oxidant (Eº = 2.1V). In addition to the direct oxidation that is favored in alkaline...
