Improvement of the photo-Fenton performance at near neutral pH by the addition of tannic acid from tea leaves waste as a complexing agent in the Pb(II) photo-oxidation

by Tri Wahyuni E. Kuncoro H. Zahwa Alharrisa E. Suratman A.

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

IIntroducing tannic acid from tea leaves waste as a complexing agent of Fe(III) into photo-Fenton process to prevent Fe(OH)3 precipitation at pH 7, and further to increase photo-Fenton activity in the near neutral pH for Pb(II) photo-oxidation is systematically addressed. The photo-Fenton process...
