Abstract
In this work the degradation of a model odor compound (dimethyl disulfide, DMDS) using Fenton's reaction is reported. Dimethyl disulfide is present in wastewaters generated during production of poultry feather and viscera meal. Oxidation was carried out in batch reactor with temperature control. Experimental design technique was used to investigate the influence of concentration of hydrogen peroxide and Fe2+, temperature and pH on degradation of DMDS. Control reactions using H2O2 without Fe2+ were carried out, but DMDS degradation could only reach 60% for a 0.025 mg Lâ1 DMDS solution, at pH 3, 60 °C using 10,000 mg Lâ1 H2O2 in 30 min of reaction. The Fenton's reaction could effectively remove DMDS, reaching 95% degradation at pH 3, 60 °C, 5 mg Lâ1 H2O2 and 1 mg Lâ1 Fe2+ after only 10 min of contact. A kinetic study of the Fenton's reaction was carried out, varying the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, Fe2+ and temperature.
