H2O2/periodate (IO4−): a novel advanced oxidation technology for the degradation of refractory organic pollutants

Published in Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology

This study demonstrated, for the first time, that the H2O2/IO4− system could be an efficient advanced oxidation process (AOP) for wastewater treatment. Batch experiments conducted under ambient conditions with toluidine blue (TB), as a model pollutant, showed that 98% of TB and 73% of the initial total organic carbon were removed after only 1 min o...
