The present economic study consists in the comparison between the costs involved in the application of the Fenton and photo-Fenton processes in the treatment of waters with phenolic content. For this, the minimum amounts of 235 mM H2O2 and 100 mM Fe2+ that ensure a high degradation of a phenolic solution of 20 ppm concentration had to be determined. Their values were 780 pL of Fe2+ and 7 mL of H2O2 for the Fenton process, and 600 pL of Fe2+ and 8 mL of H2O2 for the photo- Fenton process corresponding to a phenolic solution of 990 mL. The percentage of maximum degradation achieved with both processes was 99% at a reaction time of 10 minutes at room temperature (25°C). For the economic study, it was also necessary to determine the inhibitor that stops the reaction better. This turned out to be 1 M NaOH. Besides, the different types of UV radiation used in the photo- Fenton process were compared, UV- A was the most efficient and in the economic study was considered the cost of their respective lamp. Other studies to better understand the behavior of the processes were the different ways of adding H2O2 and the effect of the initial phenol concentration on the percentages of degradation achieved. The pH value for the good performance of these processes is already established and is in the range of 2,8 to 3, so it was not studied as a variable in the present work. With the optimum conditions determined, the processes were scaled to an industrial scale with a processing capacity of 120 m3 of effluent per day. The economic comparison was made at this scale, considering the costs of investment, operation and maintenance of each process, in which the Fenton process turned out to be more economical than the photo-Fenton with a difference of 1,54 PEN per liter of processed effluent. Finally, it was concluded that both processes were efficient for the degradation of waters with phenolic content, but the most economical on an industrial scale is the Fenton process.
