The sonochemical pathway is examined as a source of hydrogen peroxide under the pre-optimized condition of acoustic frequency, 200 kHz. The macroscopic model accounting for the performance of the single acoustic cavitation bubble and the bubble population density is combined with the Fe/Cu galvanic cell operating in acidic conditions (pH 3), following a cumulative and instantaneous production approach in terms of Fenton’s reagent. The combination is optimized based on the rate of hydroxyl radicals generated by the Galvano-Fenton process, as a non-selective powerful oxidant against recalcitrant pollutants, then considering the synergetic effect of the hybrid process in terms of HO● pumped sonochemically and via the Fenton based pathway, treated using simulations of the isolated processes then their combined configuration following both aforementioned approaches.}, publisher={ISRES Publishing}
