Catalytic activity of HO by goethite and lepidocrocite: Insight from 5-bromosalicylic acid removal mechanism and density functional theory calculation (ID:CHEM114760).

We have compared the elimination of 5-bromosalicylic acid (BSA) in the systems of goethite (α-FeOOH)/HO and lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH)/HO. The results demonstrated that BSA (10 mg L) could be successfully adsorbed on α- and γ-FeOOH (0.5 g L) and then effectively degraded after the addition of HO (14.
