Abstract

Treatment of meat processing plant wastewater using Fenton’s reagent was studied by simultaneously varying the volumes of 10% FeSO 4 •7H 2 O solution (1.0mL, 2.5mL, and 4.0mL) and 50% H 2 O 2 solution (10mL, 15mL, 20mL, and 25mL) at constant volume of wastewater sample. The effects of varying the volume ratios of reagents on decolorization, FOG and COD reduction were investigated. Results showed that the ratio 1:25:25 (vol. Fe: vol. H 2 O 2 : vol. wastewater) gave the highest pollutant removal. The color of the wastewater was reduced from 2240 PCU to 16 PCU, corresponding to 99.29% overall reduction, with the Fenton’s effectiveness amounting to 98.50%. FOG content of the wastewater was reduced from 2504 ppm to 156 ppm, which was approximately 93.77% reduction. Fenton’s reagent effectively reduced the FOG by 86.97%. Similarly, COD content was also lowered by 98.60%, from 7230 ppm to 101.17 ppm. Fenton’s reagent effectively lowered the COD content by 97.07%. All the parameters, except for the FOG, passed the standards set by DAO 35 for Class C effluent.
