Abstract
The main goal of the present work consists in investigating the performance of several magnetic activated carbon composites towards the photoFenton degradation of Ibuprofen molecule. Three Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) matrices having different pHPZC were employed to prepare the magnetic GACs using the co-precipitation method. UV light irradiation tests were carried out to determine the performance of the prepared magnetic composites towards the degradation of Ibuprofen molecule in aqueous solution in the presence of Hydrogen Peroxide. The photo-Fenton tests were conducted after the adsorption equilibrium has been established. The magnetic GAC composites prepared with acid-surfaced matrix L27 GAC was found to enhance significantly the degradation process of Ibuprofen molecule.
