A Review of Recent Developments in Analytical Methods for Determination of Phosphorus from Environmental Samples [PDF]
Phosphorus is essential to environmental systems because it affects both agricultural productivity and ecological balance. Since it contributes to eutrophication and pollution problems, its existence in a variety of environmental matrices, including soil,

Ferroin in dyes degradation by Fenton-like process: a chemical waste recycling perspective
Published literature describes the formation of the Fe (II)–phenanthroline complex (ferroin) as a stop way for Fenton processes, reducing radical yield. By contrast, this study presents evidence that ferroin can be activated by UVA in mildly acidic media
