I'm not after a scrap over the use of Fenton's reagent to destroy Toluene, but this sounds like supposition to me. The process, IIRC, produces a lot of oxygen rich gas which would carry off toluene vapour. Not great for people to use inside and a fire hazard. A bigger problem for me is that Toluene dissolves in water very badly, so while this may be facile for treating contaminated waste water it sounds very inefficient for bulk disposal.[[User:Marvin|Marvin]] ([[User talk:Marvin|talk]]) 13:03, 16 June 2016 (UTC) | I'm not after a scrap over the use of Fenton's reagent to destroy Toluene, but this sounds like supposition to me.

A few articles, like [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259783650_Removal_of_VOCs_in_waste_gas_by_the_photo-Fenton_reaction_Effects_of_dosage_of_Fenton_reagents_on_degradation_of_toluene_gas_in_a_bubble_column this one], mention the neutralization of toluene, with the help of UV light, and toluene is not added in bulk. I think a bit more info regarding the ups and downs of the neutralization techniques, as well as places where you can perform the neutralization should be added and expanded.[[User:Mabus|Mabus]] ([[User talk:Mabus|talk]]) 17:19, 16 June 2016 (UTC) | ||
