Electro-Fenton process at mild pH using Fe(III)-EDDS as soluble catalyst and carbon felt as cathode

The feasibility of destruction of organic pollutants in water at near-neutral pH by homogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) process employing a soluble Fe(III)-EDDS complex as catalyst is demonstrated for the first time. The performance of the Fe(III)-EDDS-assisted EF process with carbon-felt or air-diffusi...
