Gyliene and his co-workers. It is shown that the authors have furnished a brilliant validation of the concept that dissolved contaminants are primary removed in Fe0/H2O systems by adsorption onto iron corrosion products and co-precipitation with iron corrosion products. It is reiterated that contaminant removal and contaminant reduction should not be interchanged randomly. %U http://hdl.handle.net/11858/00-1735-0000-0001-33F5-8 %~ FID GEO-LEO e-docs
