Abstract:
In this study, an attempt has been made to reduce the sludge using novel homogenizer coupled solar photo Fenton (HPF) process. At an optimum pH of 3 and Fe2+ to H2O2 dosage of 1:6, PF process yielded 63.7% solids reduction at a time interval of 45 min. Coupling of homogenizers with photo Fenton (PF) process effectively enhanced treatment efficiency. When homogenizer (specific energy - 1150.694 kJ/kg TS) was coupled with PF, a sharp increase in solid reduction 73.5% and decrease in reaction time (20 min) were observed. Cost benefit analysis revealed the efficiency of HPF process and achieved a net cost of 15.59 USD whereas PF achieved a negative net cost of -82.69 USD. Based on the above study it can be concluded that coupling of homogenizers with PF not only increased its efficiency but also make it field applicable.
