Performance of Copper as a Catalyst for Fenton-like Processes in Highly Saline Solutions

[EN] The catalytic performance of copper in Fenton-like processes was investigated under conditions of elevated chloride concentrations. Model solutions were prepared containing four target pollutants (50 mg/L each), Cu (II) at 50 mg/L, and a stoichiometric dose of hydrogen peroxide sufficient for c...

Model solutions were prepared containing four target pollutants (50 mg/L each), Cu (II) at 50 mg/L, and a stoichiometric dose of hydrogen peroxide sufficient for complete oxidation of the organic matter. Chloride levels ranged from low concentrations to those representative of both synthetic and natural seawater (36 g/L NaCl). An increase in chloride concentration consistently led to greater pollutant removal efficiency. The influence of pH on process performance was also assessed in saline and real seawater matrices. An optimal pH range between 6 and 7 was identified in both cases, where the reactivity of copper-chloride complexes was maximized while the formation of insoluble, catalytically inactive copper species was suppressed. Monitoring of pH, soluble copper concentration, and hydrogen peroxide consumption supported the conclusion that real seawater provides the most favorable conditions for copper-chloride catalyzed Fenton-like reactions. These results demonstrate the high potential of copper-based advanced oxidation processes in saline environments, particularly in applications where traditional methods exhibit limited efficiency.The authors thank the financial support of the European Union Next Generation EU-Proyectos de Transicion Ecologica y Transicion Digital (TED2021-130994B-C32-ECOTRANSEAS) and Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion Plan Nacional de Investigacion (PID2021-126400OB-C31-AQUAENAGRI).
