Relationship between the structure of Fe-MCM-48 and its activity in catalytic ozonation for diclofenac mineralization.

TL;DR: X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption desorption, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterizations revealed that Fe existed in the framework of MCM-48, and Fe-MCM- 48 possessed a large surface area and a highly ordered cubic mesoporous structure, which could accelerate reactants and products diffusion.

Ozone dose dependent formation and removal of ozonation products of pharmaceuticals in pilot and full-scale municipal wastewater treatment plants

TL;DR: The formation maximum of a given compound occurred at a specific ozone dose that is characteristic for each compound, but seemed to be independent of the wastewater used for the experiments at the two pilots and the full-scale plant.
