A comprehensive study of the sonochemical degradation of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) was carried out using high-frequency ultrasonic processes. The effects of various operating parameters were investigated, including ultrasonic frequency, power density, initial DMP concentration, solution pH and the presence of

In this study, we demonstrate that the decomposition of dimethyl phthalate under microwave irradiation could be greatly enhanced over Fe@Fe(2)O(3) nanowires supported on activated carbon (Fe@Fe(2)O(3)/AC). The great enhanced decomposition of dimethyl phthalate could be attributed to a unique microwave
