Pollutants Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment of a Photovoltaic Powered Textile Electro-Fenton Wastewater Treatment System.

ABSTRACT: Textile wastewater poses a substantial environmental challenge due to the persistence of organic dyes. This study introduces a novel approach using photovoltaic (PV) powered electro-Fenton (EF) technology for effective treatment of textile wastewater. Acid orange 7 (AO7), methylene blue (MB), and malachite green (MG) were selected as representative organic dyes to validate the method under varying experimental conditions. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) highlighted the significant influence of pollutant type, pH levels, and current density on the degradation efficiency of the system, with optimal conditions observed at pH = 3 and high current density. To underscore the environmental benefits, a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted. The PV-powered EF system, when implemented
