摘要
Several treatment strategies have been proposed to minimize the environmental impact of dairy wastewaters. However, their complex and variable composition makes it difficult to predict the degradation kinetics of organic compounds. In this study, we used a mathematical approach to describe the kinetics of total organic carbon degradation in real dairy wastewater by photo-Fenton oxidation. The reactions were conducted under different ultraviolet light intensities, pH, temperature and Fenton reagent concentrations, obtaining a maximum TOC removal of 90.84%. The kinetic model was developed based on well-established photo-Fenton reactions. The present approach considers that account that small and large molecules of unknown contaminants are present in the effluent, and the smaller molecules are consumed first. The specific degradation rate (k(d)) was considered as an exponential function of total organic carbon conversion, comprising this effect of molecular size distribution on the treatment process. Fitting of experimental data to model predictions provided mean R-2 values of 0.843-0.953.
