Résumé
The presence of refractory micropollutants in natural waters poses significant environmental and health risks. Preferably, advanced oxidation techniques like electro-Fenton (EF) and bio-electro-Fenton (BEF) are used to mitigate micropollutants; nevertheless, their field-scale implementation is limited by prohibitive catalyst cost. As an alternative, waste-iron electrocoagulated algal biomass (A-BC/Fe) was explored as a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst to eliminate dimethyl phthalate (DMP) from wastewater. The Fenton-conducive morphological, chemical, and electrochemical properties of the A-BC/Fe catalyst were revealed by detailed characterisation. In EF treatment, 10 mg/L of DMP was completely degraded within 15 min at pH of 7.0, 50 mM Na
