In this experimental work, degradations of formaldehyde
and methanol were investigated using several advanced oxidation
processes, which were UV/H2O2, Fenton, photo-Fenton
and the combination of Fenton and photo-Fenton. Of all the
applied processes, photo-Fenton was found to be the most effective
method for formaldehyde and methanol degradations. In
this process pseudo-first-order degradation rate constants were
found to increase with the increasing of the initial concentration
