A critical review on various remediation approaches for heavy metal contaminants removal from contaminated soils

Saravanan Rajendran et al.

Summary: Heavy metal pollution is a global environmental challenge that poses a significant threat to human life. Various methods have been explored to eliminate heavy metal pollutants from the environment, but are constrained by high expenses, processing duration, geological problems, and political issues. The immobilization of metals, phytoextraction, and biological methods have proven practical in treating metal contaminants from the soil.

Role of sunlight and oxygen on the performance of photo-Fenton process at near neutral pH using organic fertilizers as iron chelates

Nuria Lopez-Vinent et al.

Summary: This study investigated the role of sunlight and oxygen in the photo-Fenton process at near neutral pH using five organic fertilizers as iron complexes. The results showed that different iron chelates have different UV absorbance and stability constants, which affect the reaction mechanisms in SMX degradation. The proposed complementary reaction mechanisms involve potential photoexcitation of the iron complex and subsequent oxygen-mediated hydroxyl radical generation reactions.
