Degradation of carbamazepine (CBZ) upon Fenton-like oxidation has been investigated analyzing the effect of H2O2dose and temperature at a very low catalyst concentration (2 mg L−1of Fe3+). Fenton-like oxidation allowed complete conversion of CBZ, the oxidation rate depending on the amount of H2O2used. The addition of the theoretical stoichiometric amount of H2O2led to the complete conversion of CBZ in 1 h reaction time. The reduction of the H2O2initial concentration down to 10% of the stoichiometric led to a significant increase of that time up to 3 h. The mineralization efficiency of H2O2was considerably increased by increasing the temperature (from 21 to 131 mg TOC/g H2O2at 35 and 50 °C, respectively). Beyond 50 °C no significant effect was observed in the extension of reaction although it proceeded at significantly higher rate. The toxicity and biodegradability of the resulting effluents from Fenton-like oxidation were evaluated by respirometric tests using non-acclimated activated sludge. CBZ strongly inhibits the microbial activity (EC50= 1.8 mg L−1) being essentially non-biodegradable. Fenton-like oxidation of CBZ (10 mg L−1) at 50 °C with the theoretical stoichiometric H2O2amount for complete mineralization (5.6 mg H2O2/mg CBZ) allowed obtaining an easily biodegradable effluent.
