Additive manufacturing (AM) received increasing attention in recent years in various fields such as engineering and medicine, among others. More recently, the fabrication of three-dimensional objects used as scaffolds in heterogeneous catalysis has shown innumerable advantages, such as easier handling and waste reduction, both leading to a reduction in times and costs. In this work, the fabrication and use of 3D-printed recyclable polylactic acid (PLA) scaffolds coated with an iron oxide active catalyst for Fenton reactions applied to aromatic model molecules, is presented. These molecules are representative of a wider class of intractable organic compounds, often present in industrial wastewater. The 3D-printed PLA-coated scaffolds were also tested using an industrial wastewater, determining the chemical oxygen demand (COD). The catalyst is characterized using electron microscopy coupled to elemental analysis (SEM\/EDX) and thermogravimetry, demonstrating that coating leach is very limited, and it can be easily recovered and reused many times.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym15030580","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,23]],"date-time":"2023-01-23T04:19:22Z","timestamp":1674447562000},"page":"580","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["The Role of 3D Printing in the Development of a Catalytic System for the Heterogeneous Fenton Process"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4960-728X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lucia","family":"D\u2019Accolti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Bari, Orabona 4, 70125 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3001-9880","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessia","family":"De Cataldo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Bari, Orabona 4, 70125 Bari, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Montagna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Engineering for Innovation, University of Salento, Arnesano, 73100 Lecce, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3056-1162","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carola","family":"Esposito Corcione","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Engineering for Innovation, University of Salento, Arnesano, 73100 Lecce, Italy"},{"name":"National Interuniversity Consortium of Materials Science and Technology, University of Salento, Arnesano, 73100 Lecce, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6371-4030","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alfonso","family":"Maffezzoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Engineering for Innovation, University of Salento, Arnesano, 73100 Lecce, Italy"},{"name":"National Interuniversity Consortium of Materials Science and Technology, University of Salento, Arnesano, 73100 Lecce, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Hull, C.W.
