This work proposes a novel approach for the coupling of ozonation and Fenton processes using a new prototype of a high rotation bubble reactor (HRBR), which improves utilization of the ozone and hydrogen peroxide through bubble generation and axial and radial dispersion of the flow. The HRBR integrates the rotor and the diffuser in the same device facilitating the generation and dispersion of the ozone bubbles inside the reaction tank. Thus, the mass transfer to the liquid phase is enhanced. Most of the experiments were carried out under neutral pH and 1580 rpm of agitation during the 20 min of reaction. Total ibuprofen degradation was achieved within 20 min of operation for most of the couplings and individual processes evaluated. It was successfully demonstrated that the HRBR can be used as a reactive system for heterogeneous Fenton and ozonation coupling because it presents a high synergy. For the ozonation process, the reactor also displayed a good performance because the residual ozone in the gas is lower than 0.4 mg/L, which indicates that there is a suitable ozone utilization. Ibuprofen degradation by other processes like oxidation direct by H₂O₂ and heterogeneous Fenton was 28.0% and 73.1%, respectively. It was determined that the reaction rate, synergy, OUI (ozone utilized index), and consumption of electrical energy (EE/O) of the coupled processes could be improved by using the HRBR depending on the experimental conditions.
