  • Feasibility study on enhancing the biodegradability of fresh and old landfill leachate using combined chemical precipitation and Fenton processes (2026) · Scientific Reports · doi

    Further research is needed to investigate the scalability and cost-effectiveness of the combined chemical precipitation and Fenton processes. The use of other oxidation processes, such as ozone or UV treatment, could be investigated as alternative approaches for enhancing leachate biodegradability.

  • Nanoconfinement-triggered oligomerization pathway for efficient removal of phenolic pollutants via a Fenton-like reaction (2024) · Nature Communications · cited 159× · doi

    The current endeavors to improve the catalytic performance of Fenton reaction are mostly focused on accelerating Fe(III) reduction, while the pollutant degradation step is habitually overlooked. The use of nanoconfined systems has not been fully explored for the removal of phenolic pollutants via a Fenton-like reaction.
