Fenton reaction

The Fenton reaction is a chemical process where hydrogen peroxide reacts with iron ions to produce highly reactive species called free radicals. These radicals are capable of breaking down organic pollutants into less harmful substances. It’s commonly used in water treatment to remove contaminants efficiently. The reaction involves iron acting as a catalyst, transforming hydrogen peroxide into reactive forms that attack and decompose complex or toxic substances, helping to purify water or degrade pollutants in an environmentally friendly way.
