Preparation of catalytic membranes, micro-capsules and fabrics active in immobilized Fenton chemistry

New and up to-date materials have been developed in our laboratory to carry out Fenton photo-assisted processes efficient in the decoloration/degradation of organic pollutants that show: stability against radical attack, do not allow the leaching of Fe-ions into the solution and intervene with suitable kinetics in the degradation processes. These new materials comprise Fe-ions supported on: Nafion membranes, Nafion-glass mats composites, alginate beads, amorphous polycrystalline fused copolymers and silica woven fabrics.
