Popis: In this work, degradation of stripped sourwater by Fenton´s oxidation process was investigated by a central composite design and response surface methodology. The effects of initial concentrations of H 2 O 2 and Fe 2+ on the total phenols degradation was studied in a batch reactor. The optimum total phenols degradation was 92% achieved within an H 2 O 2 concentration of 4.4 g L -1 and iron concentration of 162 mg L -1 . The mathematical kinetic model adequately represented the experimental results. The results indicated that the Fenton oxidation rate (1/m) and removal efficiency (1/b) were more dependent on iron concentration than H 2 O 2 concentration. After the Fenton process, the sourwater presented a seed germination rate ( L. sativa ) above 80%, indicating reduced phytotoxicity of the treated effluent. It was also observed that the H 2 O 2 concentration significantly affected the inhibition concentration (IC 50 ).
