Abstract:
tThe aim of this work is to determine the photostability biocompatibility and efficiency of water solublebio-based substances (SBO) in photo-oxidative processes for wastewater treatment. Three batches of SBO,isolated from different sources, have been investigated. Differences in the functional groups present inthese substances can explain major trends in their physical/chemical properties. Bioassays have proventhose materials to be non-toxic but to show poor biodegradability. Their ability to enhance a photo-Fentonprocess at milder pH (5.2) has been investigated using a mixture of emerging compounds in wastewaters.All the tested SBO were able to remove all pollutants in less than one hour irradiation, and the best resultswere obtained with those substances showing higher hydrophilic/hydrophobic ratio. Moreover, althoughSBOs themselves undergo a slight oxidation, no relevant negative effect has been observed for their usein wastewater treatment.
