Catalytic degradation of methylene blue by Fenton like system:model to the environmental reaction

To develop more efficient chemical methods for the demineralization of organic pollutants from waterbodies, which one was also mimic to the nature, a degradation of methylene blue by Fe( Ⅲ ) and H2O2 in theabsence of light instead of Fe( Ⅱ ) and H2O2 was studied. Results showed that use of Fe ( Ⅲ ) is more promisingthan Fe( Ⅱ ). The present study reflects that Fenton reaction is more efficient, in the presence of a small amount ofsalicylic acid is added which is a one of the priority pollutant.
