Fenton?s reagent is a mixture of Fe2+ and H2O2 ions and a source of hydroxyl radicals (OH?) with a high oxidizing potential. The paper presents examinations of Fenton process efficiency depending on solution pH, temperature and oxidation duration as well as on H2O2/Fe2+ ratio of the added Fenton?s reagent.   Formaldehyde is an organic compound commonly used in various industrial branches such as the textile, tanning, rubber, paper, photographic, founding and construction industry, as well as in biology and medicine. It is applied in the production of resins, adhesives, binders, dyes, paints and lacquers; it is also a disinfectant and a preservative, and constitutes an important substrate in organic synthesis, mainly in the synthesis of acetylene...
