To overcome the drawback of low pH requirement of the classical Fenton reaction,
researchers have applied chelating agents to form complexes with Fe and enable Fenton …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic micro pollutants which are persistent
compounds in the environment due to their hydrophobic nature. Concerns over their …

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), such as hydroxyl radical (HO•)-and sulfate radical
(SO4•–)-mediated oxidation, are alternatives for the attenuation of pharmaceuticals and …

Advances in water chemistry in the last decade have improved our knowledge about the
genesis, composition, and structure of dissolved organic matter, and its effect on the …

This book is written as a reference on organic substances in natural waters and as a
supplementary text for graduate students in water chemistry. The chapters address five …

This observation suggests that bulk spectroscopic proper-ties can be used to quickly
estimate the size of humic substances and their aromatic contents. Both parameters are …

A eview of the literature revealed that bioaccumulation of silver in soil is rather low, even if
the soil is amended with silver‐containing sewage sludge. Plants grown on tailings of silver …

The scientific understanding of the molecular size and shape of humic substances (HS) is
critically reviewed. The traditional view that HS are polymers in soil is not substantiated by …

The scientific understanding of the molecular structure of humic substances is critically
reviewed here. The traditional view that humic substances are polymers in soil is not …

Factors affecting sorption of organic pollutants by natural sorbents (soils, sediments, clays,
humic materials, and dissolved organic matters) and sorption coefficients for selected …
