124-TCB can be successfully degraded under photo-Fenton conditions at neutral pH using ferrioxalate and a low energy consumption Vis-LED as the iron and the radiation source, respectively. To study the effects of the process parameters: HP, Fe, and Rad; a D-optimal experimental design combined with response surface methodology was applied. Among the studied variables, it could be seen that the largest effect in 124-TCB conversion was due to Rad (the most significant term), followed by Fe, and finally the HP term.
