1 Introduction

Recently, there is an ever-increasing alarm associated with the emerging pollutants (EPs) streams augmented wastewater discharge from industrial effluents and human consumption. Insecticides that are categorized as EPs have attained a significant attention of scientists and academia due to their negative potential impact on both aquatic system and human health. The presence of Lannate insecticide, which is signified as a restricted-use insecticide, was firstly introduced by E.I. du Pont de Nemours in 1968 [1]. It could present in sewage as a continuous discharge from agriculture land use by human activities or may be from manufacturing plants, which in this case is at substantially higher concentrations [2, 3]. However, Lannate is categorized as one of the most consumed insecticides in many countries, especially in Egypt [4]. It is applied into a broad variety of agricultural crops in order to control a wide spectrum of arthropods. Lannate is formulated as a soluble concentrate and water-soluble powder insecticide with active ingredients among the other commercial formulations [5]. However, it is categorized as toxic to human, mammals and aquatic texture according to US EPA regulations [6]. Thus, treating the effluents contaminated with such insecticide is urgent to satisfy the environmental regulations.
Generally, conventional remediation techniques are inefficient in treatment of such toxic contaminants since they might transfer the pollutants from one to another phase, expensive or resulting in secondary pollutants contaminants. Subsequently, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) arose the researchers attention because they possess in situ remediation in a cost-efficient way [7]. Photo-Fenton reaction is one of the AOPs which are superior treatment process that is in the requirement of H2O2, iron salts and mostly acidic pH range that leads to the formation of the powerful hydroxyl radicals groups that are the main responsible of remediation. Fenton is simple to operate, efficient and moderately applicable [7, 8]. However, Photo-Fenton’s reaction still possesses some limitations including the impact of the sludge by-product formation after the reaction, limited acidic pH conditions [9] and thereby acidic pH range to the final reclaimed wastewater that require further treatment, and finally, the ultraviolet source to conduct the photo-Fenton process is costly and added value to the process cost. Thus, searching for alternatives to overcome such drawbacks is a suggestive topic [10, 11].
In pursuit of overcoming such Fenton’s limitations, numerous modifications are developed. The photo-Fenton process was developed by introducing a solar light as a cheap natural UV source to the Fenton process which helps in H2O2 molecules dissociation for easy reactivity [12]. Also, it assists in converting Fe3+ into Fe2+ after reaction. The process helps in improving the performances and kinetics of the process since it decreases the reagents demand. However, solar/photo-Fenton does not address the other process boundaries, especially the operational acidic pH and the final sludge in the effluent [13].
Another key modification to overcome the sludge problem and eliminating the limitations of low pH, use of heterogeneous Fenton processes that entails embedment of the ferrous catalyst is a carrier on supporting material [14]. The support material helps in slowing the catalyst release into the solution. Such method limits the catalyst supply in the effluent; thereby, minimal sludge and metal ions are formed in the final reclaimed water. Moreover, the extreme low pH conditions could be evaded through immobilizing the acid on the carrier support. Additionally, to add to the advantages of the supported heterogeneous Fenton reaction, the catalyst material could be easily separated, recovered and reused for a sustainable application [15]. Various materials are introduced as a possible supported carrier materials for heterogeneous Fenton reaction system. Such carriers include activated carbon, clay, synthetic zeolite and silica [1621]. However, the principal limitations of the suggested groups are either low efficiency or the high costs. Activated carbon and zeolite are the most studied materials; silica is the most cost-efficient carrier among the studied groups.
The essential need of highly aggressive chemicals in effluent treatments motivates the current work into seeking for a reusable catalyst with an environmentally benign material. Herein, in this regard, the current investigation is seeking to develop an effective heterogeneous photo-Fenton oxidation system that will stunned the drawback of the classical Fenton’s reaction. Such catalyst is a novel recyclable solar/Fenton catalyst through extending the operating pH range, reducing the final sludge formation, minimizing the remnant iron ions in the reclaimed effluent. Furthermore, the catalyst is categorized as a cost-efficient since it that could be recoverable after treatment for further use. Moreover, such catalyst could overcome the sludge formed after the Fenton’s reaction. The investigation tested several oxidation parameters for the modified iron-coated silica carrier to develop a cheap and more effective carrier material for heterogeneous Fenton process. Additionally, the system kinetics and thermodynamic parameters are investigated at different temperature effects.

2 Bibliometric Analysis

Bibliometric analysis is used as a valuable tool for relevant research literature analysis for selected topic. Such technique could be applied and identified to link key aspects of a certain subject. The achieved bibliometric mapping signifies the highest cited articles published in literature and the investigation of relationships between the terms attained. As such, a search at the database of the “Web of Science” via the keywords of “Pesticide wastewater AND advanced oxidation processes” was performed and 308 publications, in scientific journals from the year 2000 to August of 2021. In spite of the relatively limited papers in the last 20 years, Fig. 1 shows a profile of the current studies related to the wastewater containing pesticide oxidation through advanced oxidation processes. The increased number of research articles helps in further development of wastewater reclaiming using AOPs for high levels for final sustainable disposal. The keywords were analyzed through the VOSviewer software to analyze the articles conducting such studies. The bibliometric network mapping generated in VOSviewer based on 308 papers from the search terms is displayed in Fig. 1. The clusters represent hotspot. From such map, a considerable attention could be paid as the photo-Fenton has been intensively identified among the other AOPs.

3 Box–Behnken Design (BBD) Model

Response surface methodology (RSM) is introduced as a statistical technique and applied for attaining the optimum experimental values of the operating parameters [22]. Box–Behnken Design (BBD) is chosen as a statistical tool based on a multivariate nonlinear model for optimizing the response surface that influencing various variables as well as categorizing the correlation between the controllable variables and the evaluated response. RSM is signified as an effective tool for optimizing the interacting variables in the Fenton process in order to optimize pollutant oxidation since Fenton reaction is a multivariable dependent process. In the present investigation, the most influencing variables in the Fenton’s reaction were chosen to investigate their influence in the Lannate removal (as a response), i.e., H2O2, silica-supported iron catalyst concentrations and pH were selected to explore their effect on Lannate concentration removal (\(\gamma\)) efficiency from aqueous stream. The levels of the experimental variables were determined according to the preliminary study by the author (results are not shown). Three levels were chosen for each of the three variables: H2O2 (τ1), catalyst (τ2) and pH (τ3) as displayed in Table 1 in their uncoded and coded values.

Table 2 tabulates the full factorial BBD experimental design that fits the second-order polynomial model. Commonly, the optimization technique includes main steps: the first step is dealing with conducting the statistically designed experiments (Table 2), followed by the estimation of the coefficients in a mathematical model, and lastly the predicted response is attained and the adequacy of the model is checked. Developing of an empirical model that correlates the response of the Lannate removal process is attained that is based on second-order quadratic model as given by Eq. (1) to interact the interaction variables.

4 Experimental Investigation

4.1 Chemicals and Reagents

Commercial-grade Lannate, O-(methylcarbamoyl) oxime carbamate, was used as a model insecticide pollutant without further purification. Hydrogen peroxide (30% w/v), iron collected from coal industry wastewater effluent, is collected. Sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid, all of analytical grade, were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich and were used as received from the supplier without further treatment for pH adjustment, if required.
Wastewater containing iron is produced from mining industry in Egypt, and iron is precipitated using a selective precipitation method. Silica-supported iron is prepared according to the previously cited techniques [14]. In such technique, iron material is selectively extracted and mixed with the silica particles. Thereafter, the mixture is dried at 103 °C in an electrical oven. The mixture is subjected for such process three replicates to assure the well mixing prior to the calcination at 500 °C in a furnace, and then, the amount of iron on silica particles is calculated.

4.2 Experimental Solar Reactor Setup and Analytical Determination

The pH of the photo-catalytically treated insecticide using modified silica-supported iron as a heterogeneous Fenton reaction source was adjusted to a set values of (3.0, 4.0, 6.5 or 7.0) by the use of diluted (1:9) H2SO4 or 0.1 N NaOH. Different amounts of the modified silica coated with iron-catalyst were added to 100 mL of pH-adjusted aqueous solution; thereafter, 30% concentration of H2O2 was added in a certain amounts while stirring with magnetic stirrer. Then, the samples were subjected to ultraviolet illumination (UV) for a specific reaction time under solar radiation via a parabolic trough solar collector mounted with tubular reactor as shown in Fig. 2. The aqueous solution augmented with reagents is circulated through the reactor, and samples are withdrawn at definite time intervals for analysis. The mixture is allowed to be separated before analysis using a micro-filter (0.45 µm). The clarified filtered effluent samples are analyzed for Lannate residuals via Unico UV-2100 spectrophotometer (USA) at 231-nm maximum absorbance peak. A digital pH-meter, AD1030, Adwa Instruments (Hungary), is used for pH measurement. The optimal reactants parameters were applied to investigate the effects on the temperature by operating at various temperatures ranged from room temperature to 60 °C. All the experimental tests were repeated twice or thrice for duplicity purposes.

Solar experiments are extensively affected with the solar radiation intensity [23, 24]. From such point of view, solar intensity should be examined to investigate the maximal solar radiation periods to conduct the experimental work. Thus, the solar intensity is recorded at the location of conducting experiments where the solar collector with the tubular reactor is located at “AMSEES Laboratory, Menoufia University, Shebin El-Kom city at the north of Egypt.” According to the previous reports [25, 26], Menoufia city is categorized as one of the most Egyptian abundant solar radiation cities. Such area is well endowed with sun energy and has high solar radiation, particularly at the summer period, which well suggests a place as a suitable option for conducting the experiments. The average sunshine periods over the place are over 10 h/day with the highest solar radiation recorded around the solar noon according to Fig. 3 being (1014 W/m2). This value is declined before the sunset or not too high in the early morning at the time of conducting experiments as illustrated in Fig. 3.

4.3 Characterization Study

The crystal structure of the synthesized silica-coated iron catalyst was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, XRD measurements, which is conducted via a Bruker–Nonius Kappa CCD diffractometer with CuKα radiation source (λ = 1.5406). The measurement was performed under step-scan mode, and the registered intensities of the diffracted X-rays were detected every 0.026 Å over 2θ range of 4–80 Å. The diffractometer works at 40 kV with a scan step time of 0.6 s. Moreover, the Material Analysis was employed Using Diffraction (MAUD) program, version 2.54, for Riveted analysis. It is designed to retrieve simultaneously diffraction/reflectivity/fluorescence analysis program. The morphology of the synthesized samples was imaged by SEM micrograph using FE-SEM, Quanta FEG 250.

5 Results and Discussions

5.1 Structural and Morphological Characterization

The XRD diffractogram of the silica-supported iron catalysts is displayed in Fig. 4a. The crystalline phase of catalyst was identified, and the XRD patterns show several diffraction peaks. Rietveld refinement with the Maud software version was applied in order to analyze the diffraction pattern of the as-prepared silica-supported iron catalyst and is displayed in Fig. 4b. The crystal structures of hematite and quartz were considered to calculate the diffraction pattern. Figure 4 (b) displays the result of the refinement, which is a strong broadening result from the small crystalline domains of those phases. Thus, it could be concluded that the silica-supported iron catalyst consists of a crystalline silica core and hematite shell with only very small crystalline domains. This conclusion is supported by SEM measurements (Fig. 5) that display a highly crystalline core and an amorphous shell.

The morphology and microstructure of the samples were studied by SEM images. The SEM images of silica-coated iron sample are shown in Fig. 4 and the inset of Fig. 4. The images with different magnifications displayed that particles are in the nanometer range, nearly spherical shape. Rough surface structure may be formed due to the presence of iron on the surface of silica. Extensive flow through exposure of Lannate during the oxidation process may be smoothen the existing surface structure.

5.2 Effect of Multivariate Parameters System

5.2.1 Effect of H2O2 Concentration

For generating hydroxyl radicals in the solar photo-Fenton’s reaction, it is essential to decompose H2O2 in the presence of iron catalyst. In addition, it is crucial to maintain both H2O2 and iron catalyst concentrations minimum; meanwhile, their higher dosage decreases the reaction efficiency. Therefore, to examine the influence of H2O2 on the Fenton’s oxidation of Lannate insecticide, experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of hydrogen peroxide dose on the reaction kinetics.
Figure 6a displays the effective Lannate oxidation process by varying the concentration of H2O2 over the range of 50–800 mg L−1. The oxidation efficiency increases from 58 to 96% when the hydrogen peroxide concentration increases from 50 to 100 mg L−1. Additionally, further H2O2 increase more than 100 mg L−1 results in a reduction in Lannate removal efficiency that declines to 82% when 200 mg L−1 of H2O2 was used. However, a further reduction in the oxidation efficiency with the increase in hydrogen peroxide dose was attained. This could be attributed by the excess hydrogen peroxide in the reaction medium, more than the optimal dose; H2O2 itself would act as ·OH scavenger rather than a generator, and result is producing HO2 radicals as shown in Eq. (2). Such HO2 radicals’ species are less reactive compared to ˙OH radicals, and therefore, a negligible contribution is achieved. Also, the generated HO2 radicals in the reaction medium react with the remaining ˙OH radicals according to Eq. (3). This investigation was previously recorded by the previous studies of Thabet et al. [27]. Thus, this results in a terminal effect in the Lannate removal rate.

5.2.2 Effect of Iron Dose

In order to investigate the effect of iron dose on the Lannate removal rate, the iron concentration was increased in the reaction medium from 20 to 80 mg L−1, while the other parameters are kept constant (H2O2 concentration was kept constant at 100 mg/L and the initial pH at 3.0). It is displayed in Fig. 6b increasing the iron concentration results in an increase in the rate of Lannate oxidation and the maximal rate reached to 96% when 40 mg L−1 is added. However, further iron addition more than 40 mg L−1 revealed a reduction in the removal of Lannate to 47 and 37% with the iron addition of 60 and 80 mg L−1, respectively. Interestingly, adverse effects of excess iron doses on the solution were attained since the extra addition of the iron speciation in the aqueous medium hinders the OH radicals’ performance Eqs. (4 and 5) [28]. This may be attributed by the ˙OH radicals trapped by excess iron ions. Hence, 40 mg/L is considered the optimum concentration needed for Lannate oxidation in the silica-supported iron Fenton system. Similar trend was previously investigated with Fenton process by Tony and Ali [29].

5.2.3 Effect of Initial pH

The aqueous stream pH is categorized as an important parameter that affects the Fenton’s reaction system. The effect of initial aqueous matrix pH on the oxidation tendency of Lannate using silica-supported iron Fenton was assessed within pH range 3.0–8.0 [30]. The mean of the duplicated experimental results of Lannate concentration removals is plotted in Fig. 6c. The results are representing that pH considerably affected Lannate oxidation system, specifically under the acidic pH conditions. As it is seen from the curves in Fig. 6c, the Lannate concentration removal is increased from 41 to 96% as the pH altered from the alkali (8.0) solution to the acidic one. The reason that silica-supported iron-based Fenton system behaved differently at different solution pHs could be associated with the production of the ˙OH radicals. This confirms that both the iron speciation and hydrogen peroxide decomposition are affected by the pH value. In addition, according to the previously cited literature [3136], the rate of hydroxyl radicals’ production is strongly enhanced at the acidic pH medium. Optimal pH plays an important role on the OH production; meanwhile, above or below this limit reduces the reactive radicals formation. Fe3+ could be produced at the high pH values as well as other complexes such as (FeOOH) that have low catalytic activity compared to Fe2+. Moreover, below the optimal pH, more H+ is generated in the reaction medium, which is further scavenging the OH radicals’ activity according to Eq. (6) [14, 37]. Hence, it is essential to control the pH of the aqueous Lannate solution in this narrow acidic range [33, 38].

5.3 Effect of Lannate Concentration

In the indusial and agricultural wastewater discharge basis, the pollutant loading in aqueous streams of wastewater treatment facilities changes in a daily basis. Thus, from this concept, it is imperative to evaluate the Fenton’s oxidation dependence on the Lannate load. Therefore, Lannate loading is varied from 50, 60, 80 and 100 ppm to investigate the oxidation efficiency with increasing the Lannate concentration, while all other experimental conditions kept at its optimum values (pH 3.0; H2O2 100 and iron 40 mg L−1, respectively). The results displayed in Fig. 7 that are the average of three replicates indicate that increasing the Lannate concentration results in a reduction in the Lannate oxidation efficiency reached to 2% when the Lannate loading was 100 ppm; however, the removal increased to 96% when the Lannate loading is 50 ppm. This may be related to the short life time of OH radicals’ species that is considered the main controlling stage of the Fenton’s oxidation reaction generally raising the tendency of collision between the radical species and contaminates molecules in wastewater matrix. Thus, the result is improving the rate of Lannate oxidation. On the contrary, the increase in the Lannate concentration is leading to a reduction in the Fenton’s oxidation efficiency. This is because the number of active sites of the silica-supported Fenton’s system reaction is inadequate for the too high Lannate loading. Moreover, the high loaded Lannate in the aqueous stream results in a decrease in the light absorption via H2O2 that are needed for the photo-Fenton system thereby rendering the OH radical species. It is noteworthy to mention that more time is required to reach the needed treatment efficiency. Also, treating higher Lannate loading at the same catalysts and reagents concentrations it could not reach to a higher removal rate. Such observation of decreasing the removal rate with increasing the initial contaminate loading in aqueous stream is previously recorded by Najjar et al. [39] and Tony et al. [40].

5.4 Temperature Effects on Kinetics and Thermodynamic Parameters

In the catalytic oxidation reactions, temperature effect is signified as a significant factor that affects reaction rates. In order to investigate the influence of temperature on reaction kinetics, Lannate oxidation experiments over a temperature ranged from 32 to 60 °C were undertaken. The data displayed in Fig. 8 illustrates the reduction in Lannate oxidation efficiency is decreased from 96 to only 41% over the temperature range investigated. Such trend could be related to the H2O2 reagent that could be thermally decomposed to O2 and H2O rather than producing hydroxyl radicals. Moreover, the much too high temperature elevation accelerates the presence of iron leachate in the medium and the iron catalyst could be lost [41]. Moreover, the high temperature could deteriorate the heterogeneous catalyst support material, i.e., silica, thus losing the iron catalyst activity, which could be decomposed into fine particles.

Hence, the overall Lannate oxidation rate is temperature-dependent technology. Several investigators [4144] have been previously described the experimental evidence for the dependency of catalytic oxidation on temperature. Also, the earlier results recorded also verified that the high temperature values decline Fenton and Fenton like oxidation efficiency. Furthermore, Soares et al. [45] and Gogate and Pandit [46] reported that the catalytic oxidation of the Fenton’s reaction has an optimal temperature value that is a controlling step for such reaction.
Generally, Fenton oxidation reaction is categorized as a complex reaction in nature since it includes a simultaneous oxidation and coagulation processes. Moreover, the reaction includes many reacting species. Hence, the result is a complicated reaction and investigating its kinetics is also not simple. The zero, first and second reaction kinetic models are used to examine the reaction kinetics at different temperatures (32, 40, 50 and 60 °C). The corresponding for the zero, first and second reaction kinetic models of kinetic constants (k0, k1 and k2, respectively) is investigated and the data are listed in Table 3. The regression coefficients (r2) values are explored and applied to examine the suitable kinetic order. According to the results listed in Table 3 from this investigation it signifies that the process generally follows first-order kinetics. Furthermore, the lowest value of half-life time (t1/2) is corresponding to the 32 °C reaction temperature (Table 4). Such investigation is previously stated in similar studies using homogeneous Fenton systems [46, 47].

In order to further understand the temperature effect on the Lannate oxidation system using silica-supported iron-based heterogeneous Fenton reaction, the thermodynamic activation parameters were attained and are listed in Table 5. The thermodynamic parameters were established by Arrhenius equation that is based on the first-order kinetic model according to Eq. (7):
$$\left(\mathrm{ln}{k}_{F}=\mathrm{ ln}A-\frac{{E}_{a}}{\mathrm{RT}}\right)$$
(7)
where A is the pre-exponential factor constant; Ea is the energy of activation (kJ mol−1); R is the universal gas constant (8.314 J mol−1 K−1); and T is the absolute temperature (K). The slope of the linear plot of ln kF versus 1/T in Fig. 9 is (−Ea/R); such slope could be applied to investigate the value of Ea. Eyring equation (Eq. (8)) [51] is used to investigate the thermodynamic parameters
$${k}_{\mathrm{F}}=\frac{{k}_{\mathrm{B}}T}{h}{\mathrm{e}}^{(-\frac{\Delta {\mathrm{G}}^{^\circ }}{\mathrm{RT}})}$$
(8)
where kB and h are Boltzmann and Planck’s constants, respectively. In addition, the enthalpy (∆H°) and the entropy (∆S°) of activation could be investigated from the relation attained in Eqs. (9) and (10), respectively [52]:

$$\Delta {H}^{^\circ }={E}_{a}-RT$$
(9)
$$\Delta {S}^{^\circ }=(\Delta {H}^{^\circ }-\Delta {G}^{^\circ })/T$$
(10)
Table 4 displays the thermodynamic results attained from such relations. Analysis of the results indicates the non-spontaneous oxidation process since ∆G° > 0, with increasing its degree of non-spontaneity with the temperature increase. Also, positive ∆H° values assessed the endothermic nature of the Fenton oxidation reaction. Additionally, the non-spontaneous oxidation nature of the reaction is verified from the negative values of entropy of activation (∆S°), which displayed a decrease in the degree of freedom of the Lannate molecules and maintained a high ·OH yield. This investigation correlates the endothermic Fenton oxidation process, and non-spontaneous nature is in accordance with that previously stated by Argun and Karatas [53], Tony and Lin [47] and Pourali et al. [54]. Furthermore, the data investigated that the Lannate oxidation via such silica-supported iron as a modified heterogeneous Fenton system typically proceeds at 34.54 kJ mol−1, which is recognized as a low energy barrier. Also, previous results of Ahmadi et al. [55] reported the low energy barrier of 45.84 kJmol−1 is the activation energy of the Fenton’s system for oxidizing dye.

5.5 BBD Factorial Design and ANOVA testing

The effect of the most three independent critical parameters in the Fenton oxidation system, namely H2O2 concentration, iron catalyst dose and pH, on Lannate removal was simulated using Box–Behnken design (BBD) model tabulated in Table 2. The data collected from this factorial design were processed and fitted to quadratic polynomial model equation. The quadratic polynomial model equation form validates the associated response function Lannate removal (\(\%\gamma )\) as follows [56]:
$$\gamma = 97.1+0.12{\Gamma }_{1}+0.84{\Gamma }_{2}-0.41{\Gamma }_{3}-2.05{\Gamma }_{1}^{2}-0.73{\Gamma }_{1}{\Gamma }_{2}+0.13{\Gamma }_{1}{\Gamma }_{3}+0.01{\Gamma }_{2}^{2}-0.55{\Gamma }_{2}{\Gamma }_{3}-4.63{\Gamma }_{3}^{2}$$
(11)
Using the SAS software and the models’ multivariate statistical analysis (ANOVA) allows determining the correlation between the studied variables and the maximized Lannate removal response. Table 6 illustrates the ANOVA results; the data in Table 6 revealed that the quadratic polynomial model is highly significant with a satisfied correlation coefficient values, r2. Commonly, from the statistics determination the model is acceptable if the coefficient of determination, r2, is more than 80% [47]. Also, the model is well fitted when a large value of Fisher test is attained which is much greater than unity besides a minimal p-value (< 0.05) is achieved [57]. The value coefficient of determination of the proposed model values is 98.32%, which indicates the fitness of attained model. Since low Pr > F value is attained 0.0006, the ANOVA results reveal a high correlation between the response and the variables. Thus, from the ANOVA test the proposed simulated model is well fitted the experimental data.

The interactions between the studied parameters, i.e., hydrogen peroxide, catalyst doses and pH, are essential to be recognized. To do so, the 3D surface and 2D contour graphs are used to describe the investigated regression model and the graphs are displayed in Fig. 10a–c. Such graphs illustrate the influence of each two independent parameters studied on the Lannate removal.

According to Fig. 10a, the Lannate oxidation efficiency that is verified through its concentration elimination is steadily improved with the increased reagent dosage of both reagents H2O2 and silica-supported iron catalyst. The main attribution of this trend is the hydroxyl radicals’ yield in the wastewater that is increased with the silica-supported dosage and hydrogen peroxide increase. But, after a certain reagent limit, the Lannate oxidation rate is deduced. This significant relation could be related to the over catalyst dosing which acts as a radical scavenger rather than a producer. Moreover, the extent of 3D surface curvature plot is a signal for the degree of exaggerated on the response (γ, %) as the more circular contour curvature categorizes a weaker interaction effect. Moreover, as shown in Fig. 10b, c, the system is highly sensitive to the pH change compared to the other parameters studied. Further, the model equation (Eq. (10) is applied to investigate the relation between the predicted and experimental responses that indicated the values obtained were close to linearity that means the data were accurate and reliable according to the results displayed in Fig. 11.

Also, the numerical simulated optimization of the system is further attained through Mathematica software (version V 5.2) and the optimum values recorded are 103, 45 mg L−1 for H2O2 and catalyst, respectively, at pH 2.8. Further, for the object of confirmation, the recorded predicted optimal values were used to precede real experiments through duplicates of experiments and original response values are compared with the simulated ones, which reached the Lannate removal to 98%. The experimental data showed high correlation between the model predictions and the experimental results that further verifies the goodness of fitness of the model for the results besides the ANOVA data.

5.6 Comparison of Treatment Methodologies

Comparison the oxidation efficiencies between the experimental data attained from the current study in using silica-supported iron as a heterogeneous photocatalyst as a source of Fenton reaction and those reported in the literature in treating pesticide in aqueous effluent with the classic Fenton and other oxidants is listed in Table 5. Encouragingly, heterogeneous photo-Fenton shows almost complete 98% removal rate compared to removal ranged from 72 to 100% with other systems. However, lower reaction time was needed for the silica-supported iron-based Fenton system in the current study comparable to other systems. An efficient superior treatment is recorded for the current study since the solar economic activation source is used. It should be mentioned that the other systems contain a fresh iron or catalyst source compared to the application of the waste iron in the current investigation to introduce the opportunity of a cradle-to-cradle technology for treating via a cost-efficient way. Moreover, such other studies exhibited some disadvantages such as the long reaction time and quantities of chemical agents in comparison with the current Fenton system. Moreover, it is noteworthy to mention that the current system is a heterogeneous recyclable sustainable catalyst that could be applied of successive times use. Also, the sustainability of the catalyst makes it possesses the opportunity of easily removable from the final effluents to avoid the final sludge formation. Thus, this is recommending such technology for Lannate insecticide elimination.

5.7 Recyclability

Silica-supported iron catalyst stability and recyclability are of greater interest for its long-term applicability in the science of aqueous waste treatment reclamation. From this regard, the heterogeneous iron-based material is checked for its stability since it possesses a superior separation nature as a heterogeneous catalyst. The catalyst is separated and then it is subjected for a successive washing with distilled water prior to oven drying at 105 °C. Thereafter, the separated, recovered and then regenerated material is applied for reuse. The data of the experimental results after successive process use are displayed in Fig. 12. The results demonstrated that a well catalytic activity is attained during the range of experimental study till the third cycle of use. Such results verify the high stability of the material after repetitive second use for 57% which declined to 28% after the third cycle. Thus, the study verified their promising sustainability for the use in treating industrial wastewater effluents. The typical oxidation percentage of the Lannate oxidation based on the successive cycles of using silica-supported iron-based Fenton material is presented in Fig. 12.

6 Conclusion

The current investigation attempted to explore the applicability of modified Fenton system for oxidizing Lannate insecticide from aqueous effluent. The experimental results of the study revealed that silica-supported iron provides higher solar Fenton reaction efficiencies with minimum energy and chemicals consumption. The Lannate concentration as target efficiency was found to be a function of the initial pH, H2O2 and catalyst doses. Box–Behnken factorial design has been successfully employed for process optimization, and the optimum operating values were 45 and 103 mg L−1 of catalyst and H2O2, respectively, at 90 min of reaction time and acidic pH (2.8) conditions. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model is well fitted the experimental results. Generally, the results obtained verify the significant role of the recyclable silica-supported heterogeneous material in oxidizing Lannate molecules from aqueous effluents. Such experimental data, derived from the synesthetic wastewater, add to a knowledge base for treating real textile wastewater matrix treatment applications. However, the developments of solar photo-Fenton for industrial-scale applications still require further research as well as novel advances to enhance the efficiency in economic overview. Interestingly, it is notable that large land area is needed for solar reactors that are added to the economic cost of the treatment facility. Such consideration makes the process expensive. Conversely, low maintenance cost of the solar installation is considered the merit that declines the total treatment cost.
