Abstract: The treatment of cheese production wastewater is difficult and costly due to organic matter, oil and protein contents at high concentrations. In this study, the cheese production wastewater will be treated by the advanced oxidation method, the fenton process. The Fenton process is a method that provides a reaction with the Fe+ 2 ion and H2O2. In experimental studies, it was aimed to investigate the effect of pH, Fe + 2 dose and H2O2 dose on the treatment efficiency of COD removal with Fenton oxidation.
