Resumen:
A significant obstacle to a widespread use of the Fenton processas a wastewater treatment technique is the cost of hydrogen peroxide whichrepresents near 90% of the total operating cost. To favor economicfeasibility a run-to-run strategy based on a tendency model is proposed foroptimal operation of the Fenton process using readily available sampleddata such as Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). Optimal operating policy ofthe process for the specified treatment restriction to be satisfied in a giventreatment time, a known initial organic load and defined operationalconstraints is identified. An organochloride compound, the 2-chlorophenol(2-CP), is selected as the target contaminant. For 2-CP oxidation, asufficiently descriptive model of the Fenton process is used as a proxy forthe real process to simulate sampled data in each modeling for optimizationexperiment. Simulation results obtained highlight that a tendency model isan effective guideline for increasingly optimizing the feeding policy forhydrogen peroxide in a Fenton process regardless of the specific wastewatercomposition.
