Combining ZVI reduction with photo-Fenton process for the removal of persistent pollutants

An iron-based photochemical process able to act via reductive and oxidative stages by tuning experimental conditions has been explored. In a first step, zero-valent iron (ZVI), added as steel wool, was used to reduce those pollutants reluctant to oxidative processes. Then, the iron released in the s...
