title: Fenton-type treatment: state of the art.
abstract: The different currently used Fenton-type treatments, either chemically or electrochemically generated, are reviewed. A particular attention is devoted to the traditional Fe++/H2O2 chemical process and to the indirect electrochemical oxidation which uses in situ generated hydrogen peroxide. Mechanisms and experimental conditions employed for the optimisation of each technology are reported; moreover advantages and main limitations are discussed.
