This study aims to optimize the operating parameters of the Fenton process in removing recalcitrant organics from POME by using a central composite design (CCD), which is a response surface methodology (RSM) module in the Design-Expert® software. Important parameters such as reaction time, H2O2 and Fe2+ ion concentrations, and pH were empirically determined and successfully optimized via RSM. Significant statistical quadratic polynomial for color and COD removal efficiency were obtained via regression analyses R2, (0.81 and 0.70) for color and COD, respectively. The highest results were 97.36 removal for color and 91.11 removal for COD at pH 3.5 and 30min of reaction time. Numerical optimization based on desirable functions was employed; 92.1 of color and 85.1 of COD were removed efficiently at pH (3.0-5.0) with a final pH of 2.85 (after reaction settlement), 4.57g/L H2O2 and 1.88g/L Fe2+ ions concentration, respectively, and 30min of reaction time at 120rpm agitation rate. The result showed that the Fenton process, at an accurate level, may be used as an effective technology for the post treatment of POME before final discharge into a nearby water body. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. date: 2015 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84949554235&doi=10.1016%2fj.jwpe.2014.11.001&partnerID=40&md5=3e00eb3f3d7ab4f0342e922a28515384 id_number: 10.1016/j.jwpe.2014.11.001 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Water Process Engineering volume: 8 pagerange: e7-e16 refereed: TRUE issn: 22147144 citation: Saeed, M.O. and Azizli, K. and Isa, M.H. and Bashir, M.J.K.
