... Iohexol, a widely used iodinated X-ray contrast media, is difficult to completely degrade with the traditional water treatment process. Catalytic ozonation with synthesized α-Fe₀.₉Mn₀.₁OOH as the catalyst can significantly promote the degradation of iohexol relative to that with ozonation alone. Hydroxyl radicals play a predominant role during the degradation of iohexol. The effect of various fact ...
