abstract={In the present study, oxidation of some major toxic aniline derivatives from effluents using Fenton and Photo-Fenton oxidation methods was carried out. A number of physical methods, chemical methods and biological methods are available for the treating of wastewaters. The degradation of Amoxicillin in water by Fenton &amp; Photo-Fenton advanced oxidation process was investigated in this study. The effect of pH (2-10), initial concentration (20-80mg/l), H<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>2</SUB> dosages (10-50mg/l), and Ferrite based catalyst dosages (0.25-1.25 mg/l) on the rate of degradation was investigated. The process was optimized with Amoxicillin removal efficiency of 95.89 %. The Photo-Fenton oxidation was carried out to increase the removal efficiency of Amoxicillin. The kinetic studies were carried out to optimize the reaction time in Fenton and Photo-Fenton process.},
