    Organic materials include wood, paper, textiles, and animal parts. They are composed of organic compounds containing carbon and are found naturally in plants and animals. Organic materials naturally deteriorate over time. Fenton's reagent is a solution of hydrogen peroxide and ferrous iron that is used to oxidize contaminants and waste waters by destroying organic compounds. It was developed in the 1890s. Fenton's reaction works by the iron and hydrogen peroxide generating hydroxyl radicals through two reactions, producing Fe3+ and Fe2+ ions and free radicals that break down organic compounds.

    What are examples of organic materials?

    Examples of organic materials include wood, paper, textiles and animal parts. Organic materials
    are any type of materials that are found in nature or are made out of items that are found in
    nature. Organic materials are composed solely of organic compounds. These compounds contain
    the element carbon, which is widely found in nature in plants and animals. Organic materials
    naturally deteriorate over time, according to Preservation 101.

    Fenton's reagent is a solution of hydrogen peroxide with ferrous iron as a catalyst that is used
    to oxidize contaminants or waste waters. Fenton's reagent can be used to destroy organic
    compounds such as trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene, PCE). It
    was developed in the 1890s by Henry John Horstman Fenton as an analytical reagent.

    How does the Fenton's reaction work ?


    After addition of the iron and the hydrogen peroxide, they are going to react together to generate
    some hydroxyl radicals as it shows in the following equations:
    Fe2+ + H2O2 ----> Fe3+ + .OH + OH-
    Fe3+ + H2O2 ----> Fe2+ + .OOH + H+
    The typical range for the iron dose is 1 part of Fe per 5-25 parts of H2O2.
