A critical review on metal complexes removal from water using methods based on Fenton-like reactions: Analysis and comparison of methods and mechanisms

Metals mainly exist in the form of complexes in urban wastewater, fresh water and even drinking water, which are difficult to remove and further harm human health. Fenton-like reaction has been used for the removal of metal complexes. Effective removal of metal complexes using Fenton-like reaction requires the removal of both metals and organic ligands, meanwhile, the fate of metals and organic pollutions must be clearly understood. Thus, this...
