During the C-F, Al2(SO4)3 was used as coagulant and its optimal dose was determined using the jar test. The following operational conditions of C-F, maximizing the organic matter removal, were determined: 700 mg/L of Al2(SO4)3 at pH = 9.96. Thus, the C-F allowed to remove 98% of turbidity, 48% of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and let to increase in the BOD5/COD ratio from 0.137 to 0.212. Subsequently, the C-F effluent was treated using each of AOPs. Their performances were optimized by the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) coupled with a Box-Behnken experimental design (BBD). The following optimal conditions of both Fenton (Fe2+/H2O2) and Photo-Fenton (Fe2+/H2O2/UV) processes were found: Fe2+ concentration = 1 mM, H2O2 dose = 2 mL/L (19.6 mM), and pH = 3. The combination of C-F pre-treatment with the Fenton reagent, at optimized conditions, let to remove 74% of COD during 90 min of the process. The C-F sequential with Photo-Fenton process let to reach 87% of COD removal, in the same time. Moreover, the BOD5/COD ratio increased from 0.212 to 0.68 and from 0.212 to 0.74 using Fenton and Photo-Fenton processes, respectively. Thus, the enhancement of biodegradability with the physico-chemical treatment was proved. The depletion of H2O2 was monitored during kinetic study. Strategies for improving the reaction efficiency, based on the H2O2 evolution, were also tested. © 2017 Elsevier Ltdenghttps://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/issn/0301-4797aluminum sulfateferrous gluconatehydrogen peroxideorganic matterhydrogen peroxideindustrial wasteironwaste waterwater pollutantbiodegradationchemical oxygen demandcoagulationdose-response relationshipexperimental designflocculationindustrial wastenumerical methodorganic matteroxidationphysicochemical propertypollutant removalwastewater treatmentanalysis of varianceArticlebiochemical oxygen demandbiodegradabilitychemical oxygen demandcontrolled studyeffluentexperimental designflocculationoxidationpHresponse surface methodtextile industryturbiditywaste water managementflocculationindustrial wasteoxidation reduction reactionsewagetextilewaste waterwater pollutantFlocculationHydrogen PeroxideIndustrial WasteIronOxidation-ReductionTextilesWaste DisposalFluidWaste WaterWater PollutantsChemicalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article2021-04-12GilPavas, E.Dobrosz-Gómez, I.Gómez-García, M.Á.10.1016/j.jenvman.2017.01.015
