Insights into nonylphenol degradation by UV-activated persulfate and persulfate/hydrogen peroxide systems in aqueous matrices: a comparative study
Abstract Nonylphenol ethoxylates are widely used industrial surfactants. Once released into environment compartments, these chemicals undergo degradation and generate more toxic short chain artificial compound nonylphenol (NP). The latter is a known endocrine disrupting compound and persistent micropollutant. In the present study, the performance of NP degradation in UV-induced PS, PS/Fe2+, PS/H2O2, and PS/H2O2/Fe2+ systems was examined. The effect of concentration of oxidant and...

Spinel-type ferrite nanoparticles for removal of arsenic(V) from water
Abstract Spinel ferrite particles (Fe3O4, MnFe2O4, and CoFe2O4) were investigated as magnetic nanosorbents for removing arsenic from spiked water samples. The nanosorbents were collected via magnetic separation from aqueous solutions spiked with an arsenic concentration that mimics the amount of this contaminant in real water samples. This research shows that using amounts of CoFe2O4 or MnFe2O4 as low as 40 mg/L, the arsenic content in the contaminated water decreased for levels...
