Data for: Removal of dissolved natural organic matter by the Al/Fe pillared clay-activated-Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation: Statistical multi-response optimization
Description
This dataset describes the first approach for the later optimized removal of dissolved Natural Organic Matter (NOM) using Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation (CWPO) activated by an Al/Fe-pillared clay catalyst (Al/Fe-PILC). First of all, it is demonstrated the successful expansion of the starting natural clay from concentrated Al/Fe-precursors by powder XRD. Therefore, the statistical analysis of the experimental catalytic data via Response Surface Methodology allowed raising a multi-response surface, which evidenced the experiment ranges of the independent variables for which the catalytic degradation of NOM might be further optimized.

1. Preparation and XRD analysis of the Al/Fe-pillared clay (Al/Fe-PILC) clay catalyst. 2. Identification of the most influential experimental factors, covariates, and responses of the CWPO degradation of dissolved NOM: Hydrogen peroxide dose and concentration of the Al/Fe-pillared clay catalyst. 3. Formulation and execution of the statistical, central composite design of experiments. 4. single-variable (Color removal; NOM carbon mineralization, and the fraction of the hydrogen peroxide consumption), and multivariate response surface plots optimizing the overall chemical treatment.
