摘要

The presence of amoxicillin (AMX) in aquatic environments poses a significant threat due to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This study examined the Fenton process efficiency for the degradation of (AMX) and the reduction of dissolved chemical oxygen demand (COD) in aqueous solution. A Box-Behnken design (BBD) was employed to optimize the process parameters, including ferrous ion [Fe²⁺], hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂], and initial [AMX], using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The experimental design demonstrated that the Fenton process was effective, achieving a maximum COD reduction of 94.83% under the optimal conditions of [AMX] = 105 mg/L, [Fe2+] = 25 mg/L, and [H2O2] = 205 mg/L. The ANOVA results confirmed the model’s significance (p = 0.0082, F = 11.02), with the quadratic effects of [H2O2] and [Fe2+] being particularly influential. Moreover, the interaction between [AMX] and [Fe2+] was also significant. These findings confirm that the Fenton process, when statistically optimized, offers a promising and efficient approach for removing pharmaceutical contaminants such as amoxicillin (AMX) from water, thereby contributing to the mitigation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
