Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced Oxidation Processes for Organic Contaminant Destruction Based on the Fenton Reaction and Related Chemistry
TL;DR: In this paper, the complex mechanisms of Fenton and Fenton-like reactions and the important factors influencing these reactions, from both a fundamental and practical perspective, in applications to water and soil treatment, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of Slow Sorption of Organic Chemicals to Natural Particles
TL;DR: The use of equilibrium expressions for sorption to natural particles in fate and transport models is often invalid due to slow kinetics and diffusion limitations appear to play a major role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dark and photoassisted Fe3+ -catalyzed degradation of chlorophenoxy herbicides by hydrogen peroxide
TL;DR: In this paper, the herbicides 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4D) and 2, 4-5-trichlor-pharmoxyacetics acid(2, 4,5-T) were degraded in acidic aerated solutions of H 2 O 2 and Fe 2+ or Fe 3+.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The chemical interactions of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) with soils and sediments (geosorbents) may result in strong binding and slow subsequent release rates that significantly affect remediation rates and endpoints.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual-Mode Sorption of Low-Polarity Compounds in Glassy Poly(Vinyl Chloride) and Soil Organic Matter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present data supporting a previously sug gested alternative dual-mode model of sorption in which dissolution and hole-filling mechanisms take place concurrently, as in glassy organic polymers.
