The recalcitrant organic compounds will pollute the ecological environment over a long period of time once released into the surroundings. They are of great health concern because of their toxicity and nonbiodegradability. Recently, it was proposed that reductive methods could be applied to Wastewater treatment to enhance the degradation of recalcitrant organic compounds. In this dissertation, zero-valent iron, catalytic iron and electrolytic reduction were studied to degrade model organic pollutants such a...
