Electro-Fenton is significant in the field of catalysis for several reasons:
High Efficiency: The process generates hydroxyl radicals in situ, which are highly effective in degrading recalcitrant pollutants. Versatility: It can treat a broad spectrum of contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, dyes, and industrial chemicals. Environmental Compatibility: It uses electrical energy and common catalysts, minimizing the need for harmful chemicals. Scalability: The process can be scaled up or down depending on the treatment requirements, making it suitable for both industrial and small-scale applications.
