Drastic enhancement on Fenton oxidation of organic contaminants by accelerating Fe(<scp>iii</scp>)/Fe(<scp>ii</scp>) cycle with <scp>l</scp>-cysteine

Abstract

The introduction of <sc>l</sc>-cysteine to the Fenton system improved the oxidation efficiency dramatically by accelerating the transformation from Fe(<sc>iii</sc>) to Fe(<sc>ii</sc>) and significantly promoted the generation of ˙OH.
