| description | Carbamazepine is one of the hydrophilic compounds identified in aquatic environments. Due to toxicity and bio-stability of this psychotropic pharmaceutical in the environment and humans, its removal efficiency and mineralization are important. In this study, synthesized Fe@Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanowires were applied to improve Fenton oxidation process using FeCl<sub>3</sub>.6H<sub>2</sub>O and NaBH<sub>4</sub>. The effects of different parameters such as initial pH, H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, FeSO<sub>4</sub>.7H<sub>2</sub>O, carbamazepine concentrations, oxidation time, and nanowires dose were evaluated using response surface methodology. After scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffract meter analysis, Fe@Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> morphology was synthesized in the form of nanowires with diameters of about 40-80 nm. The optimum oxidation conditions for carbamazepine were established at pH= 4.3, reaction time of 45.9 min, nanowire dose of 179.4 mg/L as well as H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, FeSO<sub>4</sub>.7H<sub>2</sub>O and carbamazepine concentrations of 22, 52.2 and 7.7 mg/L, respectively. The oxidation efficiency (99.5%) achieved under the optimum condition, which was determined by the model, was consistent with the efficiency predicted by the model. The multi-parameter models showed good calibration and prediction abilities with R<sup>2</sup><sub>= </sub>0.922, R<sup>2</sup><sub>adj</sub>= 0.907, R<sup>2</sup><sub>pred</sub>= 0.868. According to the results, the carbamazepine degradation rate increased with the increase of Fe<sup>2+</sup> due to the synergistic effect between Fe@Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and Fe<sup>2+</sup> on the catalytic decomposition of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2 </sub>and generation of OH•. It was concluded that the Fenton process based on the Fe@Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanowires can increase the carbamazepine oxidation rate in aqueous solutions. This method can also be used as an effective and pre-treatment process in the conventional treatment plants. |
