Abstract: The decomposition rate of trichloroethylene (TCE) by Fenton’s reaction using iron
powder was investigated especially on the influence of pH and dissolved Fe ion concentration in
the presence and absence of buffer solution to maintain pH value. The decomposition rate
depended on hydrogen peroxide concentration, and the maximum rate was observed. This finding
was explained by the consumption of hydroxyl radicals by a competing reaction with hydrogen
peroxide against TCE decomposition by the hydroxyl radicals produced from hydrogen peroxide.
The most rapid dissolution rate of iron, i.e., the maximum increasing rate of Fe ion concentration,
