Fenton oxidation process has obtained large applicative use for efficient water remediation, whereby overall reaction efficiency could be improved by developing advanced Fenton catalysts. In order to synthesize iron nanoparticles with higher catalytic activity, a simple and eco-friendly method using FeCl3 and aqueous plant extract (oak leaves) was applied in this paper. The nano zero valent iron particles were used as a catalyst in Fenton treatment to remove organic dye from aqueous solution. The objective of this study was to optimize Fenton-like process for the removal of black printing dye using a recently developed design of experiment method - definitive screening design. This novel design framework significantly reduces the number of experiments required to estimate the model parameters and to establish the optimum operation conditions. The experiments were carried out in a batch mode technique, investigating the influence of dye concentration (20 - 180 mgL-1), nanoparticles dosage (0.75 - 60 mgL-1), H2O2 concentration (1 - 11 mM) and pH value of the solution (2 - 10) on the decolorization efficiency. The Fenton-like process resulted with 79% of dye removal from aqueous solution under the optimal process conditions: dye concentration of 180 mgL-1, nanoparticles dosage of 0.75 mgL-1, H2O2 concentration of 1 mM and pH of 2. Increasing the pH value to slightly acidic or near neutral (5-7) medium resulted with slight decrease in the process efficiency (69.14 - 62.63%), but a limitation in the form of sludge generation is noticeable.

Starting from the assumption that wastewater treatments can have a significant impact on the interactions between microplastics (MPs) and various pollutants in different matrices, a focus must be directed on examination of classic and redesigned treatments to remove synthetic dyes in the presence of MPs from wastewater. This paper investigates the potential application of Fenton-like process for the removal of water-based printing dye (Cyan) from aqueous solution containing MPs in a form of granulated polyethylene (PEg). The influence of five quantitative parameters on decolorization efficiency was investigated: initial dye concentration (20-180 mgL-1), nano zero valent iron (nZVI) dosage (0.75-60 mgL-1), PEg concentration (1-10 gL-1), hydrogen-peroxide concentration (1-11 mM) and pH value (2-10). A novel statistical approach, definitive screening design, resulted with the optimization process which yielded highest removal efficiency of 92% under following conditions: initial dye concentration of 155 mgL-1, nZVI dosage of 55 mgL-1, PEg concentration of 2.35 gL-1, H2O2 concentration of 2 mM and pH value 2.5. Available data indicate that in the future, wastewater containing MPs will dictate ways to reuse this water in terms of closing the water material cycle and reducing environmental pollution. Therefore, the industrial wastewater reuse is an important component of sustainable wastewater management practices, namely, water resource augmentation and pollutant reduction.
