The objectives of this study are: (1) to determine the effect of pH, initial concentration of Fe(2+) and H(2)O(2) dosage on the removal efficiency of MEA by fluidized-bed Fenton process and Fenton process, (2) to determine the optimal conditions for the degradation of ethanolamine from TFT-LCD wastewater by fluidized-bed Fenton process. In the design of experiment, the Box-Behnken design was used to optimize the operating conditions. A removal efficiency of 98.9% for 5mM MEA was achieved after 2h under optimal conditions of pH3, [Fe(2+)]=5mM and [H(2)O(2)]=60mM. Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
