Journal of hazardous materials, 235-236, 92-100 (2012-08-14)
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

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
