and temperature on degradation of long-chain petroleum hydrocarbons by Fenton-like
processes. The results show that over 70%, 50% and 25% of aliphatic C16-C21, C21-C35
and C35-C40, respectively, was eliminated at a H 2 O 2 dose of 1.5%. The decomposition
rate of petroleum hydrocarbons was similar to each other for ferrous sulfate and magnetite
while the capacity of pyrite to trigger Fenton-driven decomposition of long-chain aliphatic …
