The chelating agent EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is a compound of massive use
world wide with household and industrial applications, being one of the anthropogenic …

Chemical oxidation technologies are often employed for the treatment of complex industrial
effluents that are not amenable to conventional biological methods. The role of chemical …

This article presents an overview with critical analysis of technical applicability of advanced
oxidation process (AOP) in removing chelating agents from aqueous solution. Apart from the …

Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) is selected in this paper to elucidate the shape evolution in the cubic
crystal system. A wide range of novel cuprous oxide microcrystals (based on the five …

The effluents of some pulp and paper processes are potentially pollutant, because of their
large volume and their refractory nature. Biological processes generally are not capable to …

The photocatalytic degradation of EDTA solutions (5mM) has been studied under different
conditions in the presence of TiO2 in suspension or immobilized on glass rings and in the …

The control of thallium (Tl) pollution in wastewater is much less studied than that of other
heavy metals (Cd, Hg, Pb) and metalloids (As), with even less research on the simultaneous …

Several methods for evaluating the toxicity and biodegradability of hazardous pollutants
(chlorinated compounds, chemical additives and pharmaceuticals) have been studied in this …

Conventional wastewater treatment techniques are inefficient to manage large quantities of
refractory organics discharged by specialty chemical industries. It is aimed in the present …

Degradation of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA; in the mmol/l range) at pH 3 was
studied by the ferrioxalate/H2O2 process under solar irradiation. A rapid total organic carbon …
