Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and C.I. Reactive Blue 21 (RB 21) were used as model pollutants. The selection of the optimal operating conditions (initial concentration of H(2)O(2) and Fe(2+)) was performed in a batch reactor. The optimal reacting conditions were experimentally determined and it was found to be initial [H(2)O(2)] 20 mg/L, [Fe(+2)] 37.5 mg/L for synthetic wastewater containing [RB 21] 50 mg/L and [PVA] 100 mg/L at pH 3 with room temperature.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFenton ProcessDecolorizationReactive Blue 21Conference Object811816N/AWOS:000275795400102N/A
