Fluorene oxidation by solar-driven photo-Fenton process: toward mild pH conditions

Abstract: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are on the list of priority pollutants to be eliminated from the environment due to their carcinogenic and mutagenic action, chemical stability, and resistance to biodegradation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the degradation of fluorene, a well-known PAH, in aqueous solutions (0.03 and 0.08 mg L), by means of a solar-driven conventional (PF) and modified photo-Fenton mediated by ferrioxalate complexes (PFF). Photolysis was also employed for comparison purposes. P… Show more

“…Excessive fluoride in natural water is predominantly caused by the discharge of fluoride-rich wastewater effluent or surface water washing of fluoridecontaining ore over long periods [1,2]. Excessive fluoride in the human body can mineralize calcium hydroxyphosphate to calcium fluorophosphate, which causes a significant change in the fluoride-phosphorus ratio resulting in spurs, periosteal hyperplasia, osteoporosis, osteosclerosis, and bone deformation [3,4]. Long-term intake of high-fluoride food by children will result in enamel hypoplasia, tooth damage, and fluoride deposition, causing a series of deformities in the bones [5,6].…”
