| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Remediation performance of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by Phyto-Fenton process was investigated in laboratory and field experiments. By using fine iron particles, such as colloidal ferric hydroxides and magnetite nanoparticles, and rice grasses, pentachlorophenol could be removed within two months. Moreover, the process could be successfully applied to an actual site contaminated with DDTs in Vietnam, demonstrating the process would be a feasible alternative to conventional phytoremediation processes with low cost and high performance. A further study will be needed to evaluate the process performances in different POPs-contaminated sites.
