Heterogeneous Fenton's reaction : a promising way for drinking water biofilm disinfection
Abstract
One of the most promising methods emerging from the European FP7 project SecurEau for drinking water distribution system disinfection is based on Fenton's reaction. This reaction appears as a non‐expensive and friendly environmental method. The process is known to generate powerful oxidative species as hydroxyl radicals HO. through a succession of reactions involving iron and hydrogen peroxide at acidic pH.
