Abstract: Depending on the products produced in the dairy industry, wastewater is produced in different properties in each process. Since the wastewater that is formed contains high organic pollutants, it is necessary to reduce pollution load before discharge. The Fenton process, one of the advanced oxidation processes, has many advantages compared to other advanced oxidation processes, such as being easier and more cost effective, shorter reaction time and higher oxidation capability. In this study, the COD removal from the yoghurt production wastewater was investigated by the Fenton oxidation method. The effects of different pH, Fe + 2 doses and H2O2 doses on COD removal efficiency were studied.
