BACKGROUND: The photocatalytic treatment of the artificial sweetener saccharin (SAC), an emerging environmental contaminant, was investigated. UVA irradiation was provided by an environmentally friendly light-emitting diode (UV-LED), whose efficiency was compared with a conventional blacklight fluorescent lamp (UV-BL).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
