TY - JOUR A1 - Noubactep, Chicgoua T1 - Comments on: "The effect of substituent groups on the reductive degradation of azo dyes by zerovalent iron" by M. Hou, et al. [J. Hazard. Mater. 145 (2007) 305] Y1 - 2007 VL - 148 IS - 3 SP - 773 EP - 774 JF - Journal of hazardous materials DO - 10.23689/fidgeo-820 N2 - This letter discusses possible improvements in experimental conditions to enable a purposeful discussion on the effect of substituent groups on the reductive degradation of azo dyes by elemental iron (Fe0) in a recent article by Hou and his co-workers. Also recalled is the pH dependence of the iron corrosion mechanism which is usually overlooked in the iron technology literature.
